Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Trafford Council commissioned architectural and engineering design services for Central Road in Partington, supporting a housing scheme of 33 units. The appointed supplier was required to undertake Stage 3 design work and develop and submit the planning application through to Stage 4. This is a professional services requirement covering architectural, construction, engineering and inspection-related work. Delivery is in the North West of England, with the council based in Sale. The requirement is relevant to architectural practices, multidisciplinary design consultancies and engineering firms able to develop housing proposals, coordinate the technical design process and prepare planning submissions for a local authority-led residential development.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award procedure. Trafford Council selected Buttress Architects Ltd on 13 July 2026. The awarded contract value is £95,700, and the contract period runs from 4 August 2026 to 3 November 2026. The tender submission deadline was 12 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract covers the Stage 3 design and planning work for the 33-home Central Road scheme in Partington. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, with Buttress Architects Ltd named as the supplier. No lots or separate awards are recorded for this requirement.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Trafford Council for housing design and planning support at the detailed pre-construction stage. Firms seeking comparable future work would need credible architectural capability, experience developing residential schemes and the capacity to progress designs into planning submissions and subsequent technical stages. The requirement suits practices that can manage a council-led housing project, coordinate architectural and engineering inputs and produce work suitable for formal planning review. It also shows that an SME architectural practice can be selected for this type of local authority commission. Competitors should be able to evidence dependable project delivery, relevant housing design experience and effective coordination across the design process.
