Summary of the contracting process

Bournemouth and Poole College procured architectural consultancy services. The requirement is for professional architectural advice and services for the college; the procurement data does not break the work down into specific tasks or projects. The buyer is Bournemouth and Poole College, based in Poole, England. The stated delivery location is Poole (BH14 0LS), with other broad delivery areas also listed. This is a services contract in the architectural and related technical consultancy category (CPV 71000000).

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Footprint Architects Ltd through a direct award. The award date was 21 October 2026, and the contract runs from 26 October 2026 to 25 October 2027. The awarded value is £40,502.25. The earlier estimated procurement value was £60,000. The stated submission deadline was 21 October 2026. No lots are identified. The available procurement details do not set out a scored evaluation basis or specific eligibility conditions, so the award outcome records the selected supplier and direct-award route rather than a competition between bids.

For architectural practices, this award is evidence that Bournemouth and Poole College buys architectural consultancy as a defined professional service, through a direct-award route in this case. Footprint Architects Ltd was selected, showing that a practice capable of delivering architectural advice for a further-education college was considered suitable for this requirement. The work is a relatively contained, single-year consultancy engagement rather than a major construction contract, so firms should be able to provide the relevant professional expertise without assuming a large works-delivery operation. Small and medium-sized enterprises were marked as suitable. A credible future supplier would be an architectural practice able to support the college’s needs in Poole and demonstrate relevant institutional-sector experience; no particular accreditation, staffing level or specialist technical capability is evidenced here.
