Description
Link is seeking to enter into a four-year Framework Agreement with a maximum of ten suitably qualified Architectural Practices for the
provision of architectural services. The services may also include the provision of Principal Designer under the Construction (Design and
Management) Regulations 2015 where the practice can demonstrate it has the relevant experience to provide this role.
Successful Architectural Practices must be RIBA or RIAS registered (or their equivalent organisations within the country that your
organisation is based). Architects within the successful Practices should be registered with the Architects Registration Board (ARB) or their
equivalent organisation within the country that your organisation is based.
Link works in partnership with a number of subsidiary companies who will also be entitled to purchase services from the Framework
Agreement. The subsidiaries of Link Group include C~urb 6 Ltd, Link Living, Horizon Housing Association Ltd,
Larkfield Housing Association Ltd and West Highland Housing Association Ltd. Although it is possible that other organisations may join
the Group, becoming subsidiary companies, during the term of the Framework Agreement, and may also wish to "call off" from the
Framework.
Link also works in partnership with several external organisations, refer to Section 1.1. of the Contract Notice for further details, who will
also be entitled to purchase services from the Framework Agreement. It is also intended that any Registered Social Landlord registered and
operating in Scotland will be entitled to purchase services from the framework, subject to Link's prior agreement.
There is no guarantee of any work, however, it is likely that individual commissions will be "called off" either by direct selection or by
mini tendering, within the terms of the Framework Agreement, to identify the most economically advantageous tender.
The Framework Agreement will mainly cover the provision of Architectural services for new build housing, however individual projects
could include rehabilitation of existing properties, extensions, office accommodation, commercial property, adaptations, and planned
maintenance projects.
The Framework Agreement may include, where successful Bidders are suitably qualified and experienced, Principal Designer Services on
each of the project types listed above.
The projects will range in size, tenure and type from mainstream housing to a variety of particular needs housing. The tenure type will
cover all affordable tenures, private rented and market sale. Applicants should have experience of projects within the affordable housing
sector of between 5 and 500 units including flats, houses and retirement living projects with a mix of tenures.
The location of projects will vary but in the main will be located in the Central Belt of Scotland, Argyll & Bute and Highland, however
individual projects may be located in any part of Scotland. The total number of units in each of the geographical areas may vary and
specific numbers cannot be guaranteed in any area or in total.
Although individual projects cannot be guaranteed, Link will expect the successful Architectural Practices to deliver a high quality and
value for money service.
