## Summary

The public procurement process for the UHI Shetland's Future Campus Project Phase 1 has reached the contract award stage. UHI Shetland, headquartered in Scalloway, aims to consolidate its educational facilities into a single modern campus. This procurement, under the category of architectural, engineering and professional services, is classified within the education industry and focuses on services. The open procedure was employed, ensuring a competitive approach. On 20th March 2025, the award was signed with Arch Henderson LLP, an SME based in Lerwick, who will provide their expertise for the design phase. This stage covers RIBA Stages 1 to 3, from preparation and briefing to spatial coordination, with completion targeted for 31st December 2025.

This contract provides substantial opportunities for businesses within the architecture and engineering sectors, especially those with expertise in education infrastructure projects or the integration of advanced learning facilities. Firms with a strong background in spatial reconfiguration and digital integration stand to gain significantly by participating in such projects, which focus on modern learning environments. Moreover, with the requirements for expertise in architectural, engineering, and quantity surveying services, businesses within these specialisations are well-positioned to leverage these opportunities to enhance their portfolios and capture further market growth.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

UHI Shetland currently has two campuses, one based in the outskirts of Lerwick, Gremista, and one in Scalloway. As part of the UHI Shetland's Strategic Strategy 2030 and Business Recovery Plan, the College Board, in June 2023, ratified the decision that the College's future needs would be best met by a move to a single campus provision. The proposal is to a create a modern campus, with high quality learning and training facilities and innovative approaches to digital and distance learning, tailored to the specific needs of Shetland's communities, on the Scalloway site, supported by delivery in a number of locations in the heart of Lerwick. This will involve transforming the existing spaces at the Scalloway campus to increase the efficiency of their use whilst both increasing the attractiveness of the campus for traditional, on-campus students and, through the integration of new technologies, enable a greater degree of outreach to our more remote learners and island businesses. This will entail the re-configuration of rooms and spaces, the re-commissioning of several unused buildings on the site, as well as the relocation of specialist teaching facilities, from the Gremista site, on to the Scalloway site. The Scope of Work for Phase 1, Design Phase, of the Future Campus project is RIBA Stages 1 to 3: Stage 1 - Preparation and Briefing Stage 2 - Concept Design Stage 3 - Spatial Coordination
