## Summary

The Scottish Canals is seeking partner organisations for its "Architect and Design Framework," a procurement initiative focusing on providing architecture and design services for various operational, commercial, and development projects. This service procurement falls under the broader category of public services, specifically within the architecture and design sector. The framework is set to run for an initial period of two years with an option to extend for up to a total of five years. Interested parties should note that the submission deadline for tenders is 30 November 2018, following which a selection process is to be conducted under a restricted procedure.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the architecture and design industry, particularly those with expertise in multidisciplinary projects and experience aligned with the RIBA Plan of Work. Companies that can demonstrate their capacity to deliver large-scale projects, possess relevant qualifications, and have a strong track record in similar frameworks will be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, businesses should ensure they meet insurance and ethical requirements outlined in the tender documentation to enhance their competitiveness in this procurement process.

## Notice

Scottish Canals is looking for partner organisations to provide a range of architecture and design services to aid the organisation to deliver a number of projects in the operational, commercial, and regeneration and development work of the organisation. The contract value is given in the anticipated maximum value of the framework over the five year period. This estimate comes from previous work carried out as well as from anticipated funding applications and aspirational spend. There is no guarantee that these spend levels will be delivered during the contract life, or that the spend profile will be uniform during the contract.

### Lot Information

Medium / High Value or Risk Projects

Lot 1 will be used to deliver our core projects or work required by Scottish Canals. It is likely that the project will require multi discipline design input through RIBA stages 0 to 6 although some projects may require input at selected stage(s) only. Examples of previous work in this area is given in the tender documents.

Renewal: The contract will be awarded with an initial contract period with an option to extend to a maximum contract period of five years.

Low Value or Risk Project Work

Lot 2 has been introduced as part of this framework to deliver more straightforward work that may only include selected delivery stages from the RIBA Plan of Work 2013 with a reduced number of design disciplines required. The type of work envisaged for this lot may include items such as drawing updates or internal layout plans.

Renewal: The contract will be awarded with an initial contract period with an option to extend to a maximum contract period of five years.
