Summary of the contracting process

New College Durham commissioned project management and quantity surveying services for its AMTEC Future Skills Building project in Durham. The work also covers planning, advice on contracts, tendering and procurement, and general construction-related advice. It is a construction consultancy requirement supporting delivery of the building project, rather than a purchase of construction materials or building works. The named buying organisation is New College Durham, and the delivery location is Durham. The consultancy scope brings together project management and commercial cost expertise with planning and procurement support, alongside broader construction advice.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Dome Project Management Limited. The award date was 30 September 2026. The awarded contract value is £47,500, and the contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The stated tender value was also £47,500. The buyer used a direct award through the Constellia NEPRO framework, rather than an open competition. The stated tender deadline was 30 September 2026. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published information gives no separate evaluation criteria or scoring basis, so the outcome can be reported as an award but not attributed to any particular weighting or technical threshold.

For future requirements of this kind at New College Durham, credible competitors would need to combine project management and quantity surveying with the ability to advise on planning, contracts, tendering and procurement, and general construction matters. The award demonstrates demand for an integrated consultancy service supporting a college building project, rather than a narrowly defined single discipline. A small or medium-sized consultancy may be well placed to serve this scale of assignment, as the procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs and the selected supplier is an SME. Experience coordinating construction projects and providing dependable commercial and procurement advice would be relevant evidence of capability. The route used was a direct award from the Constellia NEPRO framework, so framework participation and the ability to meet its requirements would matter to suppliers seeking comparable work with this buyer.
