Tender for the Development of an Estates and Campus Strategy for the University of Birmingham to 2045

The University of Birmingham is an academic community of staff and students, alumni and partners, a place for open, critical thinking, and the creation, sharing, and dissemination of knowledge.

The University was founded on the vision of Joseph Chamberlain in 1900 to provide a university for the people of Birmingham, 'a great school of universal instruction...taking all knowledge in its province'.

This philosophy has defined and shaped us as an institution ever since, founded on social responsibility and equality of opportunity for all.

During the last decade, the University of Birmingham has been transformed.

Our strong emphasis on intellectually rigorous education and pioneering research across the full breadth of disciplines has led our students to attain increasingly impressive outcomes, and our research has enjoyed growing global significance and societal impact.

Over the next decade, our aspiration is to establish Birmingham in the top 50 of the world's leading universities with world-class research and exceptional education at the heart of our success and continuing to build on our position as an exemplary civic institution for Birmingham and the West Midlands.

The University's Birmingham 2030 Strategic Framework sets out how we will pursue this highly challenging ambition, including our key goal of achieving net zero carbon for scope 1 and 2 by 2035, and overall, by 2045.

The University of Birmingham is seeking to engage a professional consultant, or suitably experienced architect-led multidisciplinary team, to develop a comprehensive and integrated Estates and Campus Strategy to 2045, using a master-planning approach.
