Partnership Grant Scheme, HSHAZ Barrow-in-Furness

Tender description

The Council is looking for expressions of interest from architects with conservation accreditation (AABC or RIBA Conservation Accredited), to provide a schedule of rates for a 'design and project management service' to property owners wishing to take advantage of the scheme, as part of a mini framework of up to 3 approved suppliers that will be offered to all applicants. The schedule of rates supplied should also include a day rate for the accredited architect to act as an advisor for projects which have had drawn work produced by non-accredited architects who have already been appointed directly by the building owner earlier in the process. We are looking to launch the scheme for applications by the end of June, with a view to first live projects starting to flow in Aug/Oct 2021 and continue until all the grant allocation is expended. The HAZ programme is a 4-year programme that commenced in April 2020, so the shopfront grant scheme will last just short of 3 years. Because this programme is being funded by Historic England a priority score weighting will be given according to accreditation and relevant experience
