Summary of the contracting process

The University of Lincoln commissioned architectural design consultancy services for the repurposing of its St Marks Building in Lincoln. The work supported the Lincolnshire Institute of Dental and Oral Health programme, with the consultancy covering built-environment design and related professional services. The procurement was for services rather than construction works or the supply of goods. Delivery was in the East Midlands, centred on the university’s St Marks site. The requirement was handled by the University of Lincoln as buyer, making this relevant to architectural practices, multidisciplinary design consultancies and built-environment advisers with experience of adapting existing institutional buildings for specialist healthcare, education or research uses.

This procurement is complete and was awarded to Perfect Circle JV Ltd. The award date was 1 June 2025, for £122,000 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period ran from 23 June 2025 to 27 April 2026. The tender submission deadline was 1 May 2025 at 11:00. The University used a selective procedure as a call-off from the SCAPE Consultancy Framework, Lot 1 – Built Environment. The requirement was classified as architectural design services, under CPV 71220000. The award was active and covered the same 10-month programme described for the consultancy services. The procurement therefore records a completed framework-based appointment rather than an open-market competition for a standalone contract.

This award demonstrates demand from the University of Lincoln for architectural and built-environment consultancy to repurpose an existing university building for a specialist dental and oral-health programme. A credible competitor for comparable work would need strong architectural design capability, experience of complex building adaptation and the ability to support institutional or healthcare-related programmes from design through delivery planning. Access to the SCAPE Consultancy Framework, particularly its built-environment provision, was central to this route, so framework participation and familiarity with call-off requirements would be important. The buyer marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs, indicating that future suppliers would need substantial multidisciplinary capacity, established delivery systems and the ability to manage a defined programme of professional services at university scale.
