Lot 1: Project Management Construction Consultancy Services for the North East Quadrant Redevelopment The University of Southampton is seeking suitably qualified project management construction consultancy services to support the redevelopment of the North East Quadrant (NEQ) of the University's Highfield Campus. Much of the main Highfield Campus was built in the 1960s during the post-war expansion of higher education and was appropriately scaled for 3,000 students. Student numbers today exceed 23,000 which puts considerable pressure on aging facilities some of which are inadequate, inflexible and inefficient by today's standards, as well as expensive to run. A project on the North East Quadrant of the Highfield Campus is therefore being considered as a development to provide a new visual gateway and functional focus to the University, to refocus a space used predominantly for car parking into productive academic use and help act as an attractor to students and staff from both the UK and internationally. The project has considerable potential to enhance the student, staff and visitor experience and will encompass rethinking of the North East part of campus pedestrian and vehicular routes and flows, servicing strategies, enhancement of the public realm, and add functions commensurate with the expectations of a leading Russell Group university. The full Project Management scope of services are detailed in File 4 but will include, but is not limited to, the following: - The coordination and management of the project and programming and agreeing timescales and activities of the Project Team; - Act as coordinating Lead Consultant and contract administrator under the building contract; - Establish and manage systems and procedures to meet all project objectives; - Manage key project processes; At each work stage take the lead responsibility for project programming, construction and logistics planning as necessary - Provide resources such as building surveyor, clerk of works and Approved Inspector services as necessary Lot 2: Cost Management Construction Consultancy Services for the North East Quadrant Redevelopment The University of Southampton is seeking suitably qualified cost management construction consultancy services to support the redevelopment of the North East Quadrant (NEQ) of the University's Highfield Campus.
