The buildings will be constructed on the former Blackdale School site, next to the UEA Norwich campus.
The University hopes to shortlist around five firms to submit tenders for the design and build job, known as the Blackdale Development in November.
UEA hopes to open the buildings, which will be built to a BREEAM Excellent standard, by September 2016.
Firms have until 21 October to complete PQQs which are available at the web portal.
