The winning team will investigate the demand for different types of additional hotel accommodation within the historic city which receives around 8.2 million visitors a year of which approximately 10 per cent stay overnight.<\/p>\n

The study will help to create a joint Greater Cambridge Local Plan which will influence development in the area up to 2041. It follows a flurry of hotel development in the city over the past decade following a 2012 report which outlined the need to widen the city\u2019s accommodation offer.<\/p>\n

According to the brief: \u2018Cambridge City Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council (the Councils) are producing a new joint Greater Cambridge Local Plan which will cover the combined geographic area of the two local authorities.<\/p>\n

\u2018The Councils are seeking to work with a contractor who can demonstrate a high level of knowledge and practical experience of visitor accommodation needs assessments related to development plan making and has a good understanding of changing visitor accommodation patterns.\u2019<\/p>\n

Cambridge is one of the fastest growing cities in the UK. Last year, the University of Cambridge named the architects chosen<\/a> for its new \u00a380 million construction consultancy services framework.<\/p>\n

Major developments within the city include a \u00a33.5 billion housing-led transformation of a water recycling centre site<\/a> by Urbed for U+I and TOWN, which completed the Mole-designed council-backed Marmalade Lane co-housing scheme<\/a> in 2020.<\/p>\n

In 2024, Victoria Fabron, Eric Martin, Pawel Pietkun and Luciano Ingenito from the Cambridge studio of Allies and Morrison<\/a> won the overall top prize in a Cambridge Association of Architects ideas contest<\/a> for a new \u2018urban room\u2019 and logo.<\/p>\n

Bids for the latest commission will be evaluated 60 per cent on quality and 40 per cent on price.<\/p>\n
