These sites were formerly occupied by B-listed tenement blocks, which were tragically lost to fires in 2019 and 2020. The Design Contest is a call for architects to submit design proposals for both sites as part shared vision for the cross. The contest will be run as a 2 stage process, commencing with the submission of an initial diagrammatic conceptual design which will be judged anonymously by the judging panel. From this a shortlist of 3 entrants will be invited to develop their ideas further to the Stage 2 submission with Cost Plan and named design team, from which an outright winner will then be selected. The depth and complexity of the Stage 2 submission information included should be in line with RIBA Plan of Work 2020 for an “early” Stage 3: Spatial Coordination (or for an “advanced” Stage 2: Concept Design) It is envisaged that, subject to approvals and acquisition of the sites, the winner may be awarded a Design Services Contract to further their design proposal into a full planning application for one or both sites, at Council’s sole discretion. More detailed information is contained within the Albert Cross Design Contest Brief which will be available on the Public Contract Scotland Tendering Portal. It is our intention to publish all documents relating to the Design Contest on Public Contract Scotland Tendering on Friday 21 August 2026. The Council will reserve the right to award a Design Services Contract under Regulation 33(6) of The Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.
