SDC-Renovation of One Evesham Place

Stratford on Avon District Council wish to appoint a suitably qualified and highly experienced Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) for the renovation of One Evesham Place.

Stratford on Avon District Council Cabinet approved the acquisition of One Evesham Place, an end-terraced double fronted parlour type dwelling, having nine bedrooms, two storey House in Multiple Occupancy [HMO] dwelling. Its purpose is to provide additional supported accommodation for homeless individuals. Since the acquisition, the property has remained vacant.

Supported accommodation provides a short-term housing solution for individuals who find themselves without permanent shelter. Supported accommodation is viewed as a transitional accommodation that will provide the short-term solutions of shelter for individuals experiencing or at risk of experiencing homelessness. This type of accommodation prioritises basic needs, offering a safe and functional space until a more permanent housing solution can be found.

The successful tenderer will demonstrate the capability to form and lead a team composed of skilled professionals representing all necessary disciplines. The multifaceted nature of this project necessitates a high degree of collaboration. Therefore, to achieve the desired project outcomes, a holistic and integrated design approach is essential.

The winning bid will outline a clear strategy for assembling a multidisciplinary team that includes Architect/Lead Designer, landscape design, principal designer, mechanical, electrical engineering, sustainability, quantity surveyor, construction/ project management, and technical consultants. This team must be prepared for effective engagement throughout all RIBA Plan of Work stages (0-7) to ensure seamless project delivery.

This project encompasses the comprehensive design, construction/renovation, and delivery of a supported accommodation facility that prioritises the well-being and independence of its residents. The design phase must address the specific needs of individuals requiring support, ensuring accessibility, safety, and functionality while fostering a sense of community and belonging. The construction stage should employ high-quality, sustainable materials and adhere to best practices for durability and longevity. The goal is to achieve practical completion within the designated timeframe and budget, delivering a facility that seamlessly accommodates resident needs and provides a supportive environment for both residents and staff.
