The site has planning approval for seven private homes, but the design must be changed to meet social housing design guide standards and a revised social housing planning application is required. The required team comprises an architect as lead consultant, mechanical and electrical engineers, civil and structural engineers, a principal designer and an NEC4 supervisor. The homes are to include four three-person, two-bedroom dwellings and three five-person, three-bedroom dwellings. This is an architectural and engineering design services requirement, including planning and inspection-related work. The buyer invited offers through a single-stage open competition. The contract is due to run from 27 November 2026 to 22 November 2030. The estimated value is £75,000 excluding VAT (£90,000 including VAT). Questions were due by 17 November 2026 at 23:59, and the offer deadline was 19 November 2026 at 23:59. The competition uses a Procurement Specific Questionnaire, followed by assessment of quality submissions and commercial submissions. The published evaluation information describes these assessment stages but gives no further weighting or scoring basis. This opportunity suits a multidisciplinary design consultancy able to bring together architectural leadership with mechanical and electrical, civil and structural engineering, principal designer and NEC4 supervisor expertise. Suppliers will need to redesign an already approved private housing scheme to meet social housing design guide standards, prepare a revised social housing application and develop a layout for the specified mix of seven homes. Experience in residential design and planning, particularly adapting schemes to social housing requirements, is directly relevant. The team must be able to coordinate the disciplines across the design and delivery period and provide supervision under NEC4. The requirement is a single, integrated team appointment rather than a separate competition for each professional discipline. ## Notice Rural Housing Association Limited wishes to appoint an Integrated Design Team consisting of the following disciplines: * Architect (as Lead Consultant); * Mechanical and Electrical Engineers; * Civil and Structural Engineers; * Principal Designer; and * NEC4 Supervisor The scheme is for the delivery of 7No social housing dwellings.
