Summary of the contracting process

Askham Bryan College procured an architecture consultancy services framework to provide professional architectural expertise for construction and development projects across its estate. The requirement covers architecture consultancy for works projects, classified under architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services (CPV 71000000). It is divided into four project-value bands: projects up to £250,000; £250,000 to £500,000; £500,000 to £750,000; and £750,000 to £1 million. Delivery covers the College’s estate, based at Askham Bryan, York, with the procurement listing coverage across the United Kingdom and wider locations. This is a services opportunity suited to small and medium-sized enterprises, and concerns architecture consultancy rather than construction delivery itself.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 30 April 2026 at 1am, and the framework contract runs from 1 May 2026 to 30 April 2028. The award date was 18 August 2026. Miller Partnership Architects Limited, Evans McDowall Architects and Gradon. EHT Limited were each selected as suppliers. The published award value is £1 in total for the framework award; this figure should not be treated as the value of individual projects or call-offs. The procurement was structured around four lots matching the project-value bands, from projects up to £250,000 through to projects valued between £750,000 and £1 million.

This award demonstrates that Askham Bryan College uses a multi-supplier architecture consultancy framework for projects across its estate, with requirements spanning four bands of construction-project value. Relevant competitors would need qualified and experienced architectural consultancy capability, with the capacity to support construction and development work across projects of varying scale. Firms able to advise and deliver architecture services for smaller works as well as projects up to £1 million would align with the structure used here. The framework also shows that the College accepts SME participation and appoints more than one architecture practice, making framework experience and the ability to work as a reliable professional services partner important when comparable requirements return to market.
