The appointed architect will provide professional architectural, design and contract administration services for the University’s capital, refurbishment and maintenance projects. The work is intended to support construction projects, achieve value for money, meet statutory and procurement requirements, and contribute to the University’s estates objectives. Services will be delivered in Dundee. This is a professional services requirement covering architectural consultancy and associated design and contract administration work, classified under CPV 71530000. The procurement is relevant to architectural practices and multidisciplinary built-environment consultancies able to support a programme of university estate projects and provide selective external consultancy input as required. The process has reached tender: the University invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. It comprises one lot, with an estimated value of £1,000,000 in total. Bids were due by 30 October 2026 at 12:00, with bid opening scheduled for 13:00 the same day. The contract period is 1,800 days, and submitted bids must remain valid until 26 March 2027. Evaluation is based on price at 60% and quality at 40%. Variants are not permitted. A document access fee applies. Electronic payment and ordering will be used, and electronic invoicing is allowed. The tender is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. This opportunity suits RIBA-qualified architectural practices with sufficient resources to support multiple capital, refurbishment and maintenance projects over the contract period. Bidders need to provide staff names and qualifications, demonstrate access to appropriately qualified architects, and evidence relevant organisational capacity. The selection requirements also include details of ISO quality accreditations and appropriate insurance cover, so firms should be prepared to evidence their quality-management arrangements and professional risk protection. The work will suit suppliers experienced in comprehensive architectural services, design development and contract administration, particularly those familiar with statutory compliance, public procurement requirements and estate improvement programmes. Practices able to coordinate with a university client and deliver consistent standards across varied projects are likely to be well placed to compete. ## Notice The University Estates and Campus Services Department will have a number of construction projects to advance over the new five years, which will require the selective input of external consultants, including Architectural Services.
