Overview

BCP Council are seeking to appoint a Lead Designer to lead a team of specialist consultants to develop a design and scope of works in consultation with the client and end user to best meet the needs of the cohort or children that Christchurch Learning Centre will be educating on the site. The primary changes required are to adapt a building originally utilised by adults into a school building suitable for KS3-KS4 students with Social Emotional and Mental Health Needs and externalising behaviours. The Council will be the Client for the project, and all instructions will come from Education and Skills Capital Team unless a specific delegation is agreed in writing. Christchurch Learning Centre will be the End User of the completed facility and will be consulted throughout at all RIBA Stages to ensure that the design meets their requirements. All final design decisions remain with the Client. The project will develop through Gateway approval stages managed within the Education and Skills governance process, which accord with the RIBA Plan of work 2020. NOTE: Bidders should be aware that BCP Council may decide not to continue with the project at any one of the Gateway stages should the estimated costs become prohibitive or internal approvals are not granted. Please refer to 'Appendix 1 - Specification - Design Lead for Christchurch Learning Centre' section 5 ('Project Governance and Structure') which outlines this in more detail.
