Student Accommodation

Tender description

Tyne Coast College is committed to providing high-quality, sustainable residential accommodation to support ongoing student growth, welfare, and operational resilience. To support Marine learners, South Shields Marine School has identified the need for residential accommodation and is seeking to engage the market for a solution. Ideal solutions include Purpose-Built Student Accommodation, high-quality conversions, or modular systems capable of delivering safe, durable, and fully compliant living spaces. Ensuite provision would also be ideal but consideration will be given to shared bathroom facilities. To accommodate both adults and under 18 learners, there are two requirements: • Accommodation for adult residents with 70-80 rooms. • Accommodation for under 18 residents with 18-20 rooms. • The accommodation must be within walking distance of the current South Shields Marine School campus. The College is prepared to secure a minimum allocation of rooms for an agreed term to ensure financial stability and service continuity with a minimum of 12 months but longer term proposals would be considered. The term is expected to begin on the 1st December 2026.
