Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council procured architectural support services for the refurbishment of BMAG. The requirement covers professional architectural services within the broader field of construction, engineering and inspection services. Delivery is in the South West of England. The work is intended to support the refurbishment programme, rather than the supply of physical goods or construction works. The council is the buying organisation and the procurement was awarded through the AEC3 Framework. This opportunity is relevant to architectural practices and multidisciplinary built-environment consultancies able to provide architectural support for a public-sector refurbishment project in the South West, including small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Constellia Public Limited on 16 July 2026. The award value is £249,450, inclusive of the stated currency, against an overall estimated procurement range of £249,450 to £395,700. The awarded contract runs from 20 July 2026 to 7 April 2028. The requirement was described as an award via the AEC3 Framework, with the procurement method recorded as ‘Other’. Bids had to be submitted by 15 July 2026 at 12:00. Bristol City Council selected one supplier for the architectural support services. The procurement was categorised as a services contract and had a complete tender status when the outcome was recorded.

This award demonstrates demand from Bristol City Council for architectural support connected with a substantial public refurbishment programme. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need a proven architectural services capability, with experience of supporting refurbishment projects from an established framework route. Relevant firms are likely to need the capacity to provide sustained professional input across the delivery period, coordinate effectively with the council and other project participants, and understand the constraints of working on a public-sector building refurbishment. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so smaller practices and mission-led organisations may be well placed where they can demonstrate the necessary technical expertise and delivery capacity.
