## Summary

The University of Strathclyde procured an architect-led multidisciplinary design team for an ISO Class 5 cleanroom supporting the National Centre for Advanced Semiconductor Packaging (NCASP). The commission covers the full RIBA service lifecycle, from Stage 0 strategic definition through Stage 7 in-use completion, so it concerns architectural design leadership, multidisciplinary building consultancy and coordination across design, construction and handover. The work is for the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow. The procurement is classified as building construction consultancy services, under CPV 71530000. It is a specialist built-environment commission combining cleanroom design with the wider professional services needed to develop, deliver and complete a controlled environment within a university setting.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to ECD Architects Ltd, an SME. It was run as a call-off by direct award under the Scotland Excel Building Construction Consultancy framework (BCC 0920), although the recorded procurement method is an open procedure. The contract was signed on 7 August 2026 and is active, with a value of £139,840. There was one bid for the lot, which was submitted electronically by an SME. The single lot covered the complete cleanroom design-team commission. The contract includes an option allowing modifications during its term in certain circumstances under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. The outcome records one appointed supplier rather than a multi-supplier award.

This opportunity indicates demand from the University of Strathclyde for specialist architect-led teams able to take a complex cleanroom project through every RIBA stage. Credible competitors would need to combine architectural leadership with coordinated building consultancy, design management and technical expertise for ISO Class 5 controlled environments. Experience of semiconductor, advanced manufacturing, research or similarly high-specification facilities would be relevant, alongside the ability to manage requirements from early strategy through construction, commissioning and in-use completion. Suppliers should also be capable of working within a public-sector framework call-off route and coordinating multidisciplinary outputs for a university client. The single-bid outcome suggests that framework eligibility and a demonstrable cleanroom capability are important routes to competing for comparable commissions from this buyer.
