## Summary

The University of Edinburgh is seeking the appointment of a Design Team for Stages 4-6 of the HiSS (Health in Social Sciences) and PPLS (Philosophy, Psychology & Language Sciences) decant and refurbishment project located in Edinburgh, UK (Region UKM75). The contract, titled "NCA31076 Design Team Stages 4-6 for HiSS and PPLS," falls under the design consultancy services category (CPV 79415200) and has been awarded through a limited procurement method without prior publication due to technical reasons that mandate the appointment of Studio SJM Architects Ltd to ensure continuity.
