## Summary

Highlands and Islands Enterprise is conducting a tender for "Design Team Services" related to a construction project at Inverness Campus, with the aim of appointing a qualified design team. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the contract is expected to be awarded in October 2020, following the submission deadline of 17 February 2020. This project will be approached as a "fast track" initiative, with a budget of £150,000 to £200,000, and it is classified under the services sector, specifically in economic affairs.

This tender presents an opportunity for architectural and engineering firms, particularly those with relevant certifications and experience in similar projects, to expand their portfolios and gain visibility within the public sector. Businesses that can meet the criteria for insurance and have a registered team of architects should consider this tender. Participating companies can leverage the community benefits framework to differentiate themselves, potentially fostering greater business relationships within the local community while fulfilling public sector requirements.

Construction is expected to be awarded by October 2020 with the work estimated to be complete by winter 2021.
