Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Chester Diocesan Academies Trust procured an estates and facilities professional services and consultancy agreement through a dynamic purchasing system, with the requirement described as an estates partner. The work falls within architectural and related services, covering professional advice and consultancy for the Trust’s estate and facilities. Delivery is associated with the Trust’s base in Runcorn, England, and the stated delivery coverage includes the United Kingdom, Europe, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, British Overseas Territories and other locations worldwide. This is a services requirement rather than a construction works or goods supply contract. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist consultancies and professional practices able to support an education estate across multiple locations.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 10 August 2026 to E3 CUBE LTD. The award value is £300,000, while the procurement’s estimated value was £500,000, both in GBP. The awarded contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. It followed an open procedure under the dynamic purchasing system, with bids due by 31 July 2026. The award was made to a single supplier, E3 CUBE LTD, based in Liverpool. The published evaluation information identifies architectural and related services as the classification and the main category as services. The arrangement therefore represents a completed three-year professional services appointment for Chester Diocesan Academies Trust, rather than an unawarded or cancelled procurement.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the procurement indicates established demand from Chester Diocesan Academies Trust for external estates and facilities consultancy linked to its academy estate. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need architectural and related professional services capability, together with the capacity to act as an estates partner rather than provide a narrowly defined one-off task. Experience of advising education-sector estates, coordinating facilities-related work and supporting clients across multiple sites would strengthen a supplier’s position. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, so a specialist consultancy or architectural practice with an appropriately broad service offer could compete without needing the scale of a major national provider. Suppliers should also be able to operate across the stated geographic coverage.
