## Description
Network Rail is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced architectural practice to lead the design and planning application for the redevelopment of Oxford Station and its surrounding area. This commission forms a critical part of the Oxford Station Masterplan, which aims to deliver a new vision for the station environment, supporting Oxford’s growth as a national rail hub and global innovation centre.
Scope of Services:
• Masterplanning: Develop and evolve previous scheme proposals to create a new, mixed-use masterplan that maximises value, integrates operational railway requirements, and aligns with Oxford City’s development and regeneration aspirations.
• Design Leadership: Act as lead architect for the masterplan, coordinating with specialist consultants and stakeholders to deliver a comprehensive design solution, including station entrances, public realm, multi-storey car park, cycle hub, offices, life sciences, hotel, and residential elements.
• Planning Application: Prepare and submit a detailed planning application for Phase 1, including all necessary supporting documents, reports, and stakeholder engagement as required by the local planning authority.
• Stakeholder Engagement: Collaborate with Oxford City Council, Oxfordshire County Council, Network Rail, train operating companies, and other key stakeholders throughout the design and planning process.
• Sustainability: Embed best practice in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) objectives, targeting high levels of certification (e.g., BREEAM, WELL, NABERS, BNG, embodied carbon).
Key Deliverables:
• A new illustrative masterplan for the Oxford Station area, including phasing and delivery strategy.
• RIBA Stage 2+ design report for the first phase of development.
• Full planning application for Phase 1, including all required technical and supporting documentation.
• Coordination and integration of specialist inputs (e.g., transport, sustainability, heritage, engineering).
• Ongoing design and technical support through the planning determination period.
The contract will be let under the NR26 NEC4 Professional Service Short Contract (PSSC).
The scope of this procurement covers the development of the Oxford Station Masterplan and the delivery of a detailed planning application for Phase 1. Phase 2 services are entirely optional and may not be instructed. Any extension to include Phase 2 will be subject to separate approval and explicit instruction by Network Rail. The estimated total value and contract term stated in this notice is inclusive of both Phase 1 and the optional Phase 2. 
Full details of the scope, deliverables, and requirements are provided in the procurement documents within the tender Pack.
