What is being bought

Introduction and Background City College Plymouth provides general further education, higher education and work-based learning to the city of Plymouth and surrounding areas. As a leading provider of vocational training in the Southwest, it has a vision to be the learning destination of choice, providing learning without limits at the heart of the local community. The 5-year Estates Strategy (2026-2031) will outline the roadmap to transform the College property portfolio into a sustainable, efficient, and curriculum-led environment. The strategy will prioritise the alignment of physical assets with modern technical education, maximizing space utilization, and reducing carbon emissions to meet institutional net-zero targets. One of the first Institutes of Technology, City College Plymouth has recently been awarded National Defence Technical Excellence College status. This means the College is set to play an increasingly important national and international role in developing the highly skilled workforce required to support the UK's defence capability and wider economic growth. Another exciting collaboration with Plymouth City Council is the £50m regeneration of the Civic Centre, which will be converted into 144 apartments and a new city centre campus containing the Blue Green Skills Hub, which will train up to 2,000 students a year across 60 different courses. Strategic Objectives The new Estates Strategy will both drive and respond to these key developments and opportunities, building on this vision and helping to shape the future careers of thousands of young people and adults. The new strategy will have the following strategic goals: 1. To align with the DfE 10-year national education estates strategy 2. To provide industry-standard, good condition and right sized teaching spaces which support delivery of the curriculum, demands of local employers and needs of strategic partners. 3. To reduce running costs by consolidating under-utilised space, planning maintenance activities and identifying obsolete assets. 4. To set a pathway for operating an estate which is financially and environmentally sustainable The Existing Estate The College occupies several sites in the city with most activity taking place at the Kings Road campus. This 13-acre freehold campus accommodates over 29,000m2 of floor space, of which approximately half requires improvement to achieve the strategic goals above and to meet government estate condition objectives for the FE sector. Leased properties include Picquet Barracks (1,900m2), Oceansgate (750m2), Pinpoint (700m2) and Norwich Union House (1,500m2). The last two are used by a college subsidiary, Achievement Training Limited. The redevelopment of the Civic Centre will add another 5,500m2 to the estate from 2031. In response to the recent DfE Condition Data Collection, the College has commissioned an independent building condition survey, which will run in parallel with the development of this estates strategy. Methodology The new estates strategy will include the following core information projected over the 5-year period: 1. Executive Summary and Strategic Context 2. Analysis of the current estate 3. Curriculum Strategy & Plan 4. Space Utilisation Analysis 5. Future Estate Objectives 6. Options appraisal 7. Funding and Finance 8. Implementation plan Deliverables The final report will be presented to both the Executive Leadership Team and the Board of Governors (two separate presentations at Kings Road) The following key outputs will be required as appendices to the report • Asset register tracking tenure, age, condition and compliance status for each building • Five-year, costed programme of maintenance and investment • Disposal and acquisition schedule (if recommended) • Space utilisation report • Curriculum space model mapping projected enrolments to accommodation capacities • Costed carbon reduction plan • Estates risk register • Dashboard of key performance indicators for estate management Timescale It is anticipated that the estates strategy will take approximately four months to prepare and the following provisional timeline has been identified • Request for Quotation published July 2026 • Latest date for queries from interested parties 21 August • Return date for fee proposals 31 August • Interview short listed practices early Sept • Appoint successful practice mid to late Sept • Period for site familiarisation and review of information October • Submit draft report for review January 2027 • Presentations to ELT and Governors February 2027 Fee proposal Include the following information in your fee proposal: 1.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 71. The category anchor is Building consultancy services (71315200); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

    "description": "Introduction and Background\nCity College Plymouth provides general further education, higher education and work-based learning to the city of Plymouth and surrounding areas. As a leading provider of vocational training in the Southwest, it has a vision to be the learning destination of choice, providing learning without limits at the heart of the local community.\nThe 5-year Estates Strategy (2026-2031) will outline the roadmap to transform the College property portfolio into a sustainable, efficient, and curriculum-led environment. The strategy will prioritise the alignment of physical assets with modern technical education, maximizing space utilization, and reducing carbon emissions to meet institutional net-zero targets.\nOne of the first Institutes of Technology, City College Plymouth has recently been awarded National Defence Technical Excellence College status. This means the College is set to play an increasingly important national and international role in developing the highly skilled workforce required to support the UK's defence capability and wider economic growth.\nAnother exciting collaboration with Plymouth City Council is the £50m regeneration of the Civic Centre, which will be converted into 144 apartments and a new city centre campus containing the Blue Green Skills Hub, which will train up to 2,000 students a year across 60 different courses.\nStrategic Objectives\nThe new Estates Strategy will both drive and respond to these key developments and opportunities, building on this vision and helping to shape the future careers of thousands of young people and adults. The new strategy will have the following strategic goals:\n1.\tTo align with the DfE 10-year national education estates strategy\n2.\tTo provide industry-standard, good condition and right sized teaching spaces which support delivery of the curriculum, demands of local employers and needs of strategic partners.\n3.\tTo reduce running costs by consolidating under-utilised space, planning maintenance activities and identifying obsolete assets.\n4.\tTo set a pathway for operating an estate which is financially and environmentally sustainable\nThe Existing Estate\nThe College occupies several sites in the city with most activity taking place at the Kings Road campus. This 13-acre freehold campus accommodates over 29,000m2 of floor space, of which approximately half requires improvement to achieve the strategic goals above and to meet government estate condition objectives for the FE sector.\nLeased properties include Picquet Barracks (1,900m2), Oceansgate (750m2), Pinpoint (700m2) and Norwich Union House (1,500m2). The last two are used by a college subsidiary, Achievement Training Limited. The redevelopment of the Civic Centre will add another 5,500m2 to the estate from 2031.\nIn response to the recent DfE Condition Data Collection, the College has commissioned an independent building condition survey, which will run in parallel with the development of this estates strategy.\nMethodology\nThe new estates strategy will include the following core information projected over the 5-year period:\n1.\tExecutive Summary and Strategic Context\n2.\tAnalysis of the current estate\n3.\tCurriculum Strategy & Plan\n4.\tSpace Utilisation Analysis\n5.\tFuture Estate Objectives\n6.\tOptions appraisal\n7.\tFunding and Finance\n8.\tImplementation plan\nDeliverables\nThe final report will be presented to both the Executive Leadership Team and the Board of Governors (two separate presentations at Kings Road)\nThe following key outputs will be required as appendices to the report\n•\tAsset register tracking tenure, age, condition and compliance status for each building\n•\tFive-year, costed programme of maintenance and investment\n•\tDisposal and acquisition schedule (if recommended)\n•\tSpace utilisation report\n•\tCurriculum space model mapping projected enrolments to accommodation capacities\n•\tCosted carbon reduction plan\n•\tEstates risk register\n•\tDashboard of key performance indicators for estate management\nTimescale\nIt is anticipated that the estates strategy will take approximately four months to prepare and the following provisional timeline has been identified\n•\tRequest for Quotation published\t\t\t\t\tJuly 2026\n•\tLatest date for queries from interested parties\t\t\t\t\t21 August\n•\tReturn date for fee proposals\t\t\t\t\t31 August\n•\tInterview short listed practices\t\t\t\t\tearly Sept\n•\tAppoint successful practice\t\t\t\t\tmid to late Sept\n•\tPeriod for site familiarisation and review of information\t\t\tOctober\n•\tSubmit draft report for review\t\t\t\t\tJanuary 2027\n•\tPresentations to ELT and Governors\t\t\t\t\tFebruary 2027\nFee proposal\nInclude the following information in your fee proposal:\n1.\tLump Sum Fee (exclusive of VAT) stating any assumptions or exclusions\n2.\tDay rates for out-of-scope tasks; additional expenses not included in 1.\n3.\tResource plan showing breakdown of lump sum fee and required payment schedule.\n4.\tGANTT chart mapping project deliverables\n5.\tCase studies of similar work undertaken for Further Education colleges\n6.\tDescription and relevant experience of your proposed team",

    "description": "Introduction and Background\nCity College Plymouth provides general further education, higher education and work-based learning to the city of Plymouth and surrounding areas. As a leading provider of vocational training in the Southwest, it has a vision to be the learning destination of choice, providing learning without limits at the heart of the local community.\nThe 5-year Estates Strategy (2026-2031) will outline the roadmap to transform the College property portfolio into a sustainable, efficient, and curriculum-led environment. The strategy will prioritise the alignment of physical assets with modern technical education, maximizing space utilization, and reducing carbon emissions to meet institutional net-zero targets.\nOne of the first Institutes of Technology, City College Plymouth has recently been awarded National Defence Technical Excellence College status. This means the College is set to play an increasingly important national and international role in developing the highly skilled workforce required to support the UK's defence capability and wider economic growth.\nAnother exciting collaboration with Plymouth City Council is the £50m regeneration of the Civic Centre, which will be converted into 144 apartments and a new city centre campus containing the Blue Green Skills Hub, which will train up to 2,000 students a year across 60 different courses.\nStrategic Objectives\nThe new Estates Strategy will both drive and respond to these key developments and opportunities, building on this vision and helping to shape the future careers of thousands of young people and adults. The new strategy will have the following strategic goals:\n1.\tTo align with the DfE 10-year national education estates strategy\n2.\tTo provide industry-standard, good condition and right sized teaching spaces which support delivery of the curriculum, demands of local employers and needs of strategic partners.\n3.\tTo reduce running costs by consolidating under-utilised space, planning maintenance activities and identifying obsolete assets.\n4.\tTo set a pathway for operating an estate which is financially and environmentally sustainable\nThe Existing Estate\nThe College occupies several sites in the city with most activity taking place at the Kings Road campus. This 13-acre freehold campus accommodates over 29,000m2 of floor space, of which approximately half requires improvement to achieve the strategic goals above and to meet government estate condition objectives for the FE sector.\nLeased properties include Picquet Barracks (1,900m2), Oceansgate (750m2), Pinpoint (700m2) and Norwich Union House (1,500m2). The last two are used by a college subsidiary, Achievement Training Limited. The redevelopment of the Civic Centre will add another 5,500m2 to the estate from 2031.\nIn response to the recent DfE Condition Data Collection, the College has commissioned an independent building condition survey, which will run in parallel with the development of this estates strategy.\nMethodology\nThe new estates strategy will include the following core information projected over the 5-year period:\n1.\tExecutive Summary and Strategic Context\n2.\tAnalysis of the current estate\n3.\tCurriculum Strategy & Plan\n4.\tSpace Utilisation Analysis\n5.\tFuture Estate Objectives\n6.\tOptions appraisal\n7.\tFunding and Finance\n8.\tImplementation plan\nDeliverables\nThe final report will be presented to both the Executive Leadership Team and the Board of Governors (two separate presentations at Kings Road)\nThe following key outputs will be required as appendices to the report\n•\tAsset register tracking tenure, age, condition and compliance status for each building\n•\tFive-year, costed programme of maintenance and investment\n•\tDisposal and acquisition schedule (if recommended)\n•\tSpace utilisation report\n•\tCurriculum space model mapping projected enrolments to accommodation capacities\n•\tCosted carbon reduction plan\n•\tEstates risk register\n•\tDashboard of key performance indicators for estate management\nTimescale\nIt is anticipated that the estates strategy will take approximately four months to prepare and the following provisional timeline has been identified\n•\tRequest for Quotation published\t\t\t\t\tJuly 2026\n•\tLatest date for queries from interested parties\t\t\t\t\t21 August\n•\tReturn date for fee proposals\t\t\t\t\t31 August\n•\tInterview short listed practices\t\t\t\t\tearly Sept\n•\tAppoint successful practice\t\t\t\t\tmid to late Sept\n•\tPeriod for site familiarisation and review of information\t\t\tOctober\n•\tSubmit draft report for review\t\t\t\t\tJanuary 2027\n•\tPresentations to ELT and Governors\t\t\t\t\tFebruary 2027\nFee proposal\nInclude the following information in your fee proposal:\n1.\tLump Sum Fee (exclusive of VAT) stating any assumptions or exclusions\n2.\tDay rates for out-of-scope tasks; additional expenses not included in 1.\n3.\tResource plan showing breakdown of lump sum fee and required payment schedule.\n4.\tGANTT chart mapping project deliverables\n5.\tCase studies of similar work undertaken for Further Education colleges\n6.\tDescription and relevant experience of your proposed team",

    "description": "Introduction and Background\nCity College Plymouth provides general further education, higher education and work-based learning to the city of Plymouth and surrounding areas. As a leading provider of vocational training in the Southwest, it has a vision to be the learning destination of choice, providing learning without limits at the heart of the local community.\nThe 5-year Estates Strategy (2026-2031) will outline the roadmap to transform the College property portfolio into a sustainable, efficient, and curriculum-led environment. The strategy will prioritise the alignment of physical assets with modern technical education, maximizing space utilization, and reducing carbon emissions to meet institutional net-zero targets.\nOne of the first Institutes of Technology, City College Plymouth has recently been awarded National Defence Technical Excellence College status. This means the College is set to play an increasingly important national and international role in developing the highly skilled workforce required to support the UK's defence capability and wider economic growth. \nAnother exciting collaboration with Plymouth City Council is the £50m regeneration of the Civic Centre, which will be converted into 144 apartments and a new city centre campus containing the Blue Green Skills Hub, which will train up to 2,000 students a year across 60 different courses.\nStrategic Objectives\nThe new Estates Strategy will both drive and respond to these key developments and opportunities, building on this vision and helping to shape the future careers of thousands of young people and adults. The new strategy will have the following strategic goals:\n1.\tTo align with the DfE 10-year national education estates strategy\n2.\tTo provide industry-standard, good condition and right sized teaching spaces which support delivery of the curriculum, demands of local employers and needs of strategic partners.\n3.\tTo reduce running costs by consolidating under-utilised space, planning maintenance activities and identifying obsolete assets.\n4.\tTo set a pathway for operating an estate which is financially and environmentally sustainable\nThe Existing Estate\nThe College occupies several sites in the city with most activity taking place at the Kings Road campus. This 13-acre freehold campus accommodates over 29,000m2 of floor space, of which approximately half requires improvement to achieve the strategic goals above and to meet government estate condition objectives for the FE sector.\nLeased properties include Picquet Barracks (1,900m2), Oceansgate (750m2), Pinpoint (700m2) and Norwich Union House (1,500m2).
