This stage will be used to create a shortlist of architects to take through to the ITT. As part of the ITT, the shortlisted candidates will be required to submit to a design competition due to be held in May 2018. The University has agreed to provide capped funding for reasonable expenses incurred in preparing for the competition. Following the evaluation of the designs submitted, a final selection will take place at the end of May 2018. The awarded architect will be required to develop their design to a full planning application by the end of the 2018.To register your interest in this project please contact Katie Watson at procurement@uca.ac.ukThis is a potential opportunity from the government, and the pipeline gives advance notice of an opportunity that might be offered by the public sector in the future – allowing potential suppliers to plan accordingly. When a public sector organisation publishes a pipeline notice, it does not necessarily mean that an opportunity will be offered in the future.For more information contact: Falkner Road, FARNHAM, GU97DS, England.
