Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office procured design and project management services for the refurbishment of the High Commissioner’s Residence in Ottawa. The commission covers RIBA stages 2 to 7, from developed design through completion and handover, alongside refurbishment work and building consultancy. The scope includes internal, external and landscaping works, informed by investigation and feasibility reports. The intended solution is a long-term, fit-for-purpose residence with sustainability and environmental measures, designs that support ongoing maintenance, and delivery arrangements that allow the office and gatehouse to remain fully operational. The procurement is categorised as refurbishment work and building consultancy services, with the work centred on the Ottawa residence.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office awarded the contract to Pick Everard on 16 April 2026 for £2,080,662.80. The contract runs from 17 August 2026 to 17 September 2030. The tender submission deadline was 4 February 2026 at 17:00. The requirement was classified as services and was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active. The published procurement information records the refurbishment and building consultancy classifications, but does not set out an award weighting or detailed evaluation formula.

For future work of this type, credible suppliers will need integrated architectural, engineering and project management capability covering the full RIBA 2–7 lifecycle. Relevant experience should include refurbishment of complex, high-profile residential or diplomatic property, external works and landscaping, supported by robust investigation and feasibility assessment. Competitors will need to demonstrate practical sustainability and environmental design, whole-life maintainability, construction planning in an occupied and operational setting, and strong programme-control methods that provide certainty. The awarded supplier was a large organisation, indicating a requirement that favours substantial multidisciplinary capacity and the ability to coordinate delivery across a sizeable refurbishment programme. Experience managing stakeholders, risks, interfaces and continuity of operations would strengthen a future response.
