PURCON 5048B Ziggurat Design Consultation Services

The University of East Anglia invited submissions from design teams interested in developing proposals to bring the closed iconic Grade 2* listed Ziggurat buildings back to life with a feasible and viable future use for at least the next 50 years. This award follows a design competition format, with a first stage open to all interested suppliers from which the designers or design teams for up to a revised four from three of the submissions were invited to progress to the second phase to develop their initial high-level proposals into concept designs and submit a tender to provide up to RIBA Stage 3 Design services to enable the submission of Full Planning and Listed Building Consent applications (where applicable). An honorarium payment of £10,000 (+ VAT) will be provided to each selected designer or design team invited to progress to Stage 2 of the Invitation to Tender, to assist with the cost of their Stage 2 submission. The advertised contractual value is representative of the potential overall opportunity, pending development of a broader and overarching construction programme/project to address the refurbishment of the Ziggurat structures.
