PP17019 - Burton Crescent Residential Development Site and Office Space Extension - Architectural Se...

The Client is the City of Wolverhampton Council (CWC), delivering new council housing developments on a site at Burton Crescent, Heath Town Ward, Wolverhampton, for management by Springfield Horseshoe Housing Management Co-operative (SHHMC). This is a high-profile activity for CWC and SHHMC, and the selection of an appropriate partner is critical to its success.
The delivery of good quality, cost effective housing is key to achieving the Client’s aspirations.
The Client intends to bring forward this site for residential development for which architectural design services will be required to progress the scheme to full planning consent stage initially. Once full planning consent has been obtained, the Client proposes that the successful Architect provides a watchign brief for the Client to light touch design services through to Practical Completion.
The Client’s experience in delivery of new council housing is still developing and to ensure that the Client meets its business plan objectives, the Client will need to rely upon the successful Architect to produce good quality designs in line with the City Council’s design and specification criteria and be able to offer practical design advice based on their experience gained from working in this market.
The procurement of architectural services relates to design services for the site detailed within the ITT documentation. The overall site is split into 6 separate areas – All Areas A to F are to be included as part of any offer but Areas E and F are to be considered optional and may not proceed. The scope of service required has been included within this ITT and is based on the RIBA Standard Agreement 2010 (2012 revision) including CDM Regulations April 2015: Addendum.It should be noted it is the intention that this requirement for Architectural Services will be awarded to a single supplier who will be responsible for the delivery of the entire tendered works requirement. The Consultant will be required to have sufficient capacity to provide Architectural Services for all areas of the site simultaneously if so required.
