## Summary

The University of Edinburgh has completed the procurement process for the appointment of the Design Team for Stages 4-6 for Health in Social Sciences (HiSS) and Philosophy, Psychology & Language Sciences (PPLS) decant and refurbishment works. The contracting authority is The University of Edinburgh, located at Charles Stewart House, Edinburgh. This procurement falls under the 'Education' industry category, and the primary location for the services is in the UKM75 region. The contract is awarded through a limited procurement method due to the necessity of maintaining continuity with the previously appointed design provider. This award, documented under procurement ID NCA31076, was signed on 8th July 2024, with the contract amounting to £203,601. The project's critical nature demands continuity and immediate progression, which justified the use of this specific procurement method without prior publication.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in architectural and design services, particularly those that have prior experience and established expertise in complex education-related refurbishment projects. Companies like Studio SJM Architects Ltd, which was awarded this contract, exemplify the type of business well-suited for such opportunities, especially if they have a background with the University or similar institutions. For businesses looking to grow, engaging in projects with prestigious academic institutions like The University of Edinburgh can enhance their portfolio and reputation, providing a stepping stone to further high-profile contracts in the public sector.

### Procurement Information

Given the critical nature of the project and programme, and the interdependencies with a wider programme of works, it is essential that a service provider is appointed as soon as possible to progress with Stages 4-6 to meet the timescales. As Studio SJM Architects Ltd were previously appointed to provide design works up to RIBA Stage 3, appointing them for Stages 4-6 maintains continuity of design, expertise and technical knowledge of the project and stakeholders as well as the buildings and interdependencies, and allows the project to progress in line with the master programme.
