Tender description

The International Music and Performing Arts Charitable Trust (IMPACT Scotland, registered charity number SC046904), is planning a new Medium-sized concert hall (approx. 1 000 seats) in the heart of Edinburgh's World Heritage Site. It will be home to the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and used as venue by the Edinburgh International Festival.

The total estimated cost of the new concert hall is currently c. 40 000 000 GBP. IMPACT Scotland is seeking to appoint a design team to provide a full scope of design services corresponding to RIBA Stages 1-7. The current procurement is not a competition to identify and deliver that design, rather it is a competition to identify and appoint a design team. Restricted process with expression of interest followed by an invitation to tender.
