Summary of the contracting process

Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Service commissioned a multidisciplinary design team for the new Camels Head Fire Station. The consultancy covers architectural and landscape design, structural and civil engineering, mechanical, electrical and plumbing design, and principal designer duties, including responsibilities under the Building Safety Act. The work supports design and delivery of a new-build fire station in the South West of England. The main service is building architecture (CPV 71221000), alongside civil and structural engineering, building-services engineering and landscape architecture.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to ONE Creative Environments Ltd. The award was made on 15 June 2026. The awarded contract value is £189,682. The contract period runs from 30 September 2026 to 31 December 2029. The service was procured as a call-off through further competition under the Procure Partnerships Professional Services Framework, using a selective procedure. The original tender deadline was 15 April 2026. The procurement is categorised as a services contract and is identified as suitable for SMEs. The published information describes the required service disciplines but does not state an evaluation weighting or detailed award criteria.

This award shows demand from Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Service for integrated consultancy on a new-build fire station, combining architecture and landscape architecture with structural, civil and building-services engineering and principal designer expertise. A credible competitor when this requirement returns would need to coordinate these disciplines as a cohesive design team and demonstrate capability across the full scope, including Building Safety Act responsibilities. The selected supplier is an SME, and the procurement was run as a further competition under a professional services framework. For firms already able to participate in that route, the award is a practical example of the buyer’s project type and the multidisciplinary delivery expected. Specialist firms may also find relevance through teaming with a lead consultant able to provide the complete service. No particular accreditation or experience threshold is stated.
