CPV classification: 71324000: Quantity surveying services
Estimated value: 300000 GBP
Submission deadline: 2016-10-14
Award criteria: The most economic tender

Technical requirements: The Contracting Authority (Barnfield College) intends to appoint a Quantity Surveyor to assist with the development of its new campus. A Quantity surveyor is required to work with the college and their appointed design team from RIBA Stage 1 — 7.
Barnfield College is currently located on two main campuses in the north of Luton covering circa 24 000 m² (gross internal area): New Bedford Road and Enterprise Way.
Due to the age and inflexibility of the buildings on the existing campuses, the College intends to dispose of the 2 existing campuses and build a new, modern and innovate campus at a newly acquired site in Bute Street in Luton town centre (the ‘Project’). The estimated budget for the Project as a whole is
60-70 million GBP and it is intended that the Project will take three years. The intention is that the new campus will be operational from September 2020.
In summary, the new campus will: require a total gross internal area of approximately 17 000 m²; provide an efficient, flexible and modern learning environment for students; have high visual impact and contribute to the regeneration of Luton; be an educational hub and also be accessed by the community and public.
More information relating to the education facilities to be provided by the new campus and the scope of services is set out in the Specification (Schedule 2 to the Information Memorandum document) which is available on the portal.
The winning tenderer will report directly to the College's appointed project manager for this Project (Fusion Project Management Limited).
No design work has been undertaken for the Project thus far and so the Project is effectively at RIBA Stage 0.
