The appointed consultant will act as architect, lead consultant and principal designer for the repair programme. This is a building conservation and architectural design services requirement, classified under CPV 71221000, with related construction works classification 45212350. The work will be delivered in Renfrewshire, specifically at the Steeple Buildings in Kilbarchan. The buyer is Renfrewshire Council. The requirement is arranged as one lot and is intended for a consultant able to coordinate the design and principal design duties associated with repair works to this building. Community benefits form part of the requirement, with five community benefit proposals requested during the tender. The process reached tender: Renfrewshire Council invited offers through a below-GPA-threshold open tender using the open procedure. Bids had to be submitted in writing in English by 4 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC, when bids were scheduled to be opened. The contract period is 28 September 2026 to 28 March 2029. Bids must remain valid until 1 February 2027. There is one lot, with no variants, renewal or options. The selection requirement is RIAS Conservation Accreditation or an equivalent qualification. The tender also applies electronic payment and ordering, with electronic invoicing allowed. Five community benefit proposals will be requested and evaluated. Economic operators may be excluded under regulations 8 and 9 of the Procurement (Scotland) Regulations 2016. This opportunity suits architectural and multidisciplinary building conservation consultancies able to provide the full professional team required for a repair programme. Strong candidates will have experience acting as architect, lead consultant and principal designer, and the technical ability to coordinate design responsibilities through a substantial building repair project. RIAS Conservation Accreditation, or an equivalent accreditation, is required, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate recognised conservation competence. The requirement is suitable for firms with the capacity to support a long-term commission from design development through coordination of the associated works. Consultants should also be prepared to develop five evaluated community benefit proposals as part of their offer. Organisations experienced in public-sector procedures, written tenders and community benefit commitments will be well placed to compete. ## Notice Renfrewshire Council (the Council) are seeking to enter into a contract in respect of a suitably qualified, experienced, and competent Consultant to act as Architect, Lead Consultant, and Principal Designer for a programme of works to repair the Steeple Buildings, Steeple Square, Kilbarchan, Renfrewshire PA10 2JD ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Council seeks to conduct a below GPA threshold open tender to award this Contract.
