Summary of the contracting process

Coventry City Council has completed the formal procurement process for the refurbishment and expansion project at 9 Frankwell Drive & 7 Nutbrook Avenue in Coventry. The awarded contract falls under the industry category of architectural services for building extensions, classified with CPV code 71223000. The project involves pre- and post-contract design consultancy services aligned with the RIBA Design and Building framework, under a JCT intermediate contract. The contract was awarded to Lungfish Architects Ltd, with the award announced on 24th April 2025 and published on 20th June 2025. The contract period is set from 19th June 2025 to 26th February 2027. The procurement method followed a selective, restricted procedure.

This tender provides a strategic opportunity for established architectural firms specialising in building extensions to engage in significant public sector work. The refurbishment and expansion aspect suggests potential for complex design challenges appealing to firms with robust design and consultancy capabilities. As the procurement process was selective, it highlights a competitive environment well-suited for businesses with previous experience in similar public projects and those comfortable working under established frameworks like the JCT contract. While the contract is not tied to supporting SMEs or VCSEs, there remains a substantial growth prospect for firms that demonstrate exceptional service delivery and innovation within the architectural field.
