## Description
Caerphilly County Borough Council (CCBC) who are working in partnership with Transport for Wales (TfW) and the Design Commission for Wales (DCfW) are looking  to appoint an architecturally-led design team who can progress the Caerphilly interchange project through a RIBA Stage 2 concept design and beyond.
An architecturally led design is required for an exemplar, accolade seeking interchange building (indicative project cost GBP30m-GBP40m). This project brief defines the client ambition, vision, objectives and requirements to develop the RIBA Stage 1 work into RIBA Stage 2, to achieve the outcome of a client approved architectural concept (herein referred to as ‘concept design’) which can then progress to completion of RIBA Stage 3 and as such the Council reserves the right to extend the contract (subject to agreement from both parties) to the awarded Consultants to continue to complete work required to achieve RIBA Stage 3 onwards without the requirement for further competition (hourly rates are to be provided in the Activity Schedule which will be used to inform costs at RIBA Stage 3). The award of additional work will be subject to a review of performance and agreed outcomes.
