## Summary

Swansea University, located in Swansea, UK, initiated a procurement process aimed at selecting a development partner for the expansion of academic facilities and accommodation units on or near its Bay Campus. The tender, titled "Development of Academic Facilities and Accommodation Units," involves the construction of 20,000 to 30,000 square metres of academic space, along with 600 to 1,500 student accommodation units, however, this tender was marked as cancelled. The procurement was conducted through a selective method, specifically utilising a competitive dialogue process, with a total estimated value between GBP 80 million to GBP 200 million.

This procurement presents meaningful opportunities for businesses in the construction and development sectors, particularly those with expertise in educational facilities and student housing. Companies capable of delivering large-scale construction projects and possessing experience in developing ancillary services, such as retail and welfare facilities, would be well-positioned to compete in future tenders of similar nature. Given the ambitious scale and requirements of this project, businesses with a strong track record in partnership and collaborative development will also find potential avenues for growth.

## Notice

Swansea University is looking to procure a development partner to carry out a further phase of expansion and development works on, or near to, its Bay Campus. The works will comprise the: - construction and delivery of between 20,000 and 30,000 square meters of academic development, and ancillary retail and support facilities located on the Bay Campus; - construction, maintenance and operation of a minimum of six hundred (600) (and a maximum of fifteen hundred (1500)) accommodation units either on, or near to, the Bay Campus; and - potential construction and delivery of additional ancillary student space, welfare facilities and place-making such as (but not limited to) sports or music facilities.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Swansea University is looking to procure a development partner to carry out an expansion and development works on, or near to, its Bay Campus. The works will comprise the construction of Academic Facilities envisaged to be over two sites on the Bay Campus to support the movement of certain departments from Singleton Campus to the new Bay Campus. One of the facilities to be developed is likely to house the relocated School of Law and include commercial space. The second may include accommodation for visiting academics. The total requirement will be for between 20,000 and 30,000 square metres and should include retail and other ancillary facilities. The works also comprise the construction of between 600 and 1500 units of student accommodation. These units are required on or near to the Bay Campus to support the additional students who will be taught on site. The development partner must be able to provide a relevant site for the student accommodation which must be within a 3km radius of the Bay Campus. The works also comprise the potential construction and delivery of additional ancillary student space, welfare facilities and place-making such as (but not limited to) sports or music facilities. The development partner will be expected to design and build the academic facilities and, if required, also the additional ancillary space, and to design, build, finance, maintain, and operate the student accommodation. The University's Memorandum of Information sets out its detailed requirements.. The estimated total value of the procurement ranges from GBP 80,000,000 to GBP 200,000,000: this range reflects the potential differential between the minimum and maximum areas and number of student accommodation units to be provided.
