Summary of the contracting process

Historic England has completed the procurement process for the "Mini competition - Engine House Swindon lift replacement project - AWARD," which falls under the Architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services category. This procurement process was initiated due to the need for a design team to replace Core 1 & 2 lifts at a site located in Swindon, United Kingdom. The contract was awarded to PickEverard on 25th September 2025, and the project covers a contract period from 29th September 2025 to 30th September 2026. Although the tender process is completed with the award status marked as 'active,' the procurement method was conducted under a mini tender model within an existing architects' framework.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in architectural and engineering services, particularly those experienced in designing and managing construction and inspection projects. While this specific contract has been awarded, similar opportunities may arise as organisations like Historic England seek to engage design teams for heritage site upgrades and developments. Firms skilled at collaborating with public sector bodies or those experienced in handling projects from conceptualisation to completion (RIBA Stage 1 to Stage 6) stand to gain from such procurement activities. Businesses interested in future procurement opportunities could benefit from monitoring frameworks utilised by Historic England for potential engagements.
