Summary of the contracting process

Bath and North East Somerset Council procured consultancy services for architectural, construction, engineering and inspection work. The requirement is described as an RVP Consultancy Services ESPO call-off and is classified under CPV 71000000. The work is categorised as works and is to be delivered in England. The council is based at the Guildhall, High Street, Bath. The procurement concerns professional technical advice and related consultancy capability supporting construction or infrastructure activity, rather than the supply of physical goods. This is a council requirement delivered through an ESPO call-off route and may be relevant to firms providing multidisciplinary built-environment consultancy services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 18 August 2026 to Mott MacDonald through a direct award and ESPO call-off. The award value is £102,178. The contract runs from 19 August 2026 to 27 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 18 August 2026 at 13:15. Mott MacDonald is the selected supplier and the award is active. The published procurement basis was a direct award rather than an open competition. The requirement was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. One supplier and one overall requirement are recorded.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand from Bath and North East Somerset Council for multidisciplinary built-environment consultancy delivered through the ESPO route. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need demonstrable capability in architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services, with the capacity to support council work across England. The selected supplier is a large organisation, while the procurement was assessed as unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs, indicating that scale and established organisational capacity are important considerations. Firms should therefore be able to present a coordinated technical team and relevant experience covering the full range of consultancy disciplines in the requirement.
