Tender Summary

UKRI-3180 - Architectural Design Standard for all new buildings and major refurbishment designs across STFC Prior Information Notice

Buying Organisation

UK Research & Innovation

Contract Value

£70,000

Tender Description

The Estates Department within STFC is responsible for delivering all capital projects across all STFC campuses. There is a recently updated project delivery process which sets out a standard approach to the conception and delivery of capital projects - this extends to major refurbishments.

There is a set of design standards which are provided to the design team covering relevant building aspects including security, environmental sustainability, MEP, Soft-FM etc.

The architectural design will bring all of these together and provide a focus for design quality as required by STFC. This suite of design standards will be issued to design teams as a contractual document and they will be expected to design in accordance with them, though a process for derogation does exist.
