Summary of the contracting process

Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council has completed a procurement process for appointing a Mechanical and Electrical (M&E) Consultant for the Bramall Hall MEND5 project. The contract, awarded to Max Fordham, encompasses the development of the RIBA Stage 3 design package with a potential extension to further RIBA stages, contingent upon additional funding. The initial contract value is £19,000 (excluding VAT), with the total potential value reaching £66,237.76. This procurement process was conducted via a direct award through the Constellia Neutral Vendor Framework. The award phase is complete, with the contract period beginning on 17th November 2025 and concluding on 1st November 2028, and the services are to be delivered in England, UK, within the scope of mechanical and electrical engineering services.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses with expertise in mechanical and electrical engineering, specifically those capable of progressing through various RIBA project stages. While the current phase has been awarded, similar future tenders could provide opportunities for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) to engage in design consultancy services. Given the procurement was managed through a framework agreement, businesses experienced with direct award processes and framework engagements will find themselves well-suited for such opportunities. Companies in the United Kingdom looking to expand their consultancy services in public sector projects would benefit from exploring similar opportunities.
