The University of Westminster is seeking indicative cost estimates, to inform funding bids, from potential technology partner(s) who are interested in and capable of working in co-design with the community to build an innovative national practice research infrastructure
Potential projects would follow a phased approach, over three years, starting with the implementation of a basic infrastructure and scaling up subject to additional investment.
As such, the requirements focus on the core infrastructure and assume using existing open-source platforms. This basic infrastructure must have the potential to scale up in size, functionality and number of users.
We anticipate an integrated component-based approach to the infrastructure that encapsulates the potential for, firstly, the capture and dissemination and, ultimately, the preservation of content.
We anticipate that there is an opportunity for partnerships working across more than one supplier,
Supplier Engagement Process
The University is insitgating a supplier engagement process for a potential future project.
Initially, we are simply seeking supplier interest and input to assist the University with the development of tender documentation.
Project Description:
Demolition of an existing building, construction and fit out of a new Student Hub facility (up to 7 floors), with connections into existing buildings (with adjacent spaces in occupation).

Westminster University have appointed a main contractor to manage the development of the Sports Hall at Harrow.
We are now seeking to appoint a manufacturer and installer of modular buildings to work to/with the main contractor at the site, to complete the works by September 2023.
The building will need to be compliant with Building Regulations:
The sport building construction is being treated as a permanent Structure. It is not being treated as a "building of low energy demand" or a "temporary building" (with a life of less than 2 years) and these exemptions do not apply. Approval will have to be obtained as part of the Building Regulations submission.
The University is currently preparing to initiate a procurement process to award a contract for Expansion and Refurbishment works to its 29 Marylebone Road Building. The potential scale and scope of this project is such that it offers a significant opportunity to bidders. Prior to initiating the procurement, the University wishes to establish the level of market interest in participating in the procurement process and the technical and Professional Ability of candidates to deliver such a project. Any information gathered will be appraised as outlined in the questionnaire and will inform any possible subsequent procurement process . For the avoidance of doubt, this phase of the project will determine whether bidders in the market are suitable for this project.
Potential Bidders will need to register for free on the Proactis procurement portal (https://procontract.due-north.com), by completing a simple registration, Once registered bidders can use the search function under "find opportunities" .
