## Summary

The contract titled "Conservation Architect Design Team Framework Agreement" has been awarded by North Lanarkshire Council, a regional authority based in Motherwell, Scotland. This contract is classified under the services category and specifically relates to architectural consultancy services, encompassing the conservation of heritage buildings within the context of a broader town centre regeneration programme. The procurement process was conducted through an open procedure, with the contract awarded recently on 23rd June 2022, with an estimated value of £3,000,000 extending over multiple years. The procurement approach allows for the appointment of six consultants who will support the Council’s initiative to provide 5,000 new homes by 2035 while adhering to preservation standards.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in conservation architecture, engineering, and other related fields to engage in a large-scale regeneration project. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) that hold qualifications such as Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland (RIAS) accreditation or its equivalents are particularly well-positioned to compete. The framework agreement not only ensures a steady flow of work but also allows for potential collaborations with other engineering consultants, providing a comprehensive platform for firms aiming to expand their portfolios in public sector works focused on heritage and community development.

## Notice

The Councils New Supply Team is responsible for the delivery of this large- scale programme and its challenges, not least, the procurement of design consultants and contractors to build the houses to the required standard, within the timescale required and at a competitive cost.
