Summary of the contracting process

Central Bedfordshire Council procured design services for e-signs at Standalone Farm. The requirement is identified only as designs for the farm’s e-signs, with no further detail on the number, format or purpose of the designs. The named delivery location is Standalone Farm, associated with the postcode SG17 5TQ in Shefford, Bedfordshire. The council is the buyer. This is a services requirement, rather than a purchase of physical signage or installation work, based on the stated procurement category. Suppliers whose work covers design for electronic signage may find the subject relevant, although the scope available here is limited to that description.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to FWDP. The award date was 6 October 2026, and the award value is recorded as £0. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The procurement was run as a quotation process, with submissions required electronically through the council’s In-tend system. The stated deadline for receiving questions was 7 September 2026, and the quotation submission deadline was 11 September 2026 at 10am. The procurement method is described as “Other”. The information gives no lot breakdown or evaluation criteria. The awarded value is the amount recorded for the award; no separate contract value is provided.

For design businesses, this award shows that Central Bedfordshire Council has bought design work specifically for e-signs at Standalone Farm. A credible competitor when this requirement returns would need to demonstrate relevant electronic-signage design capability and an ability to deliver the requested designs for this council and location. The available scope does not establish particular technical specifications, software, accessibility standards, branding requirements, accreditation, staffing levels or prior-experience thresholds, so these should not be assumed to have determined the selection. The process used a quotation route with electronic submission, which is useful context for suppliers accustomed to preparing concise quotations and supporting attachments. The award went to FWDP; the recorded zero-pound value does not establish the commercial scale of the work.
