Southend-on-Sea Borough Council (the ‘Council’) is seeking to bring together an experienced and appropriately qualified Architect-led design team with outstanding design and detailing skills to take forward the development of a pavilion to the Pier deck that creates an iconic destination for the residents of Southend. A feasibility study has been completed (RIBA stage 1) to provide a new iconic destination place on the Pier deck that encourages existing visitors and new visitors to reach a new demographic area. The vision is to create a new pavilion that is respectful of the heritage of the Grade II Pier and is contemporary in its approach. Project Objectives and Scope of Required Design Services The design team should consist of all consultants and sub consultants required to deliver RIBA stages 2 -7. This includes the submission of the planning application to ensure that there are a minimum number of conditions to discharge. The design team will be responsible for commissioning all surveys and specialist advice required in order to submit a planning application and, subsequently, to take the project through to completion (subject to the contract being extended beyond stage 3 at the Council's sole discretion). It is envisaged that the building procurement will use the JCT Standard Building Contract with Quantities although this will be subject to review at the end of RIBA stage 3.
