Summary of the contracting process

Milton Keynes City Council appointed consultancy and project management support for capital works at The Hide and Fullers Slade. The requirement covers project management for these projects, within the wider field of architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services (CPV 71000000). The work is delivered in the South East of England. Prosper Procurement Ltd managed the procurement for the contracting body and is recorded as the buying organisation. The appointed supplier is Baily Garner LLP, a small and medium-sized enterprise providing consultancy services. This is therefore relevant to firms that manage public-sector capital projects, particularly those with experience coordinating construction-related works and advising clients through the delivery of complex building or infrastructure programmes.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been let. It was awarded to Baily Garner LLP on 3 September 2026 for £205,000, under a direct award from the Design & Consultancy Services Framework. The award contract period runs from 4 September 2026 to 29 September 2028, while the tender record gives a contract end date of 30 September 2028. The requirement was classified as services and was suitable for SMEs. The tender submission deadline was 2 September 2026 at 23:59. The award was made through the framework’s direct-award route rather than an open competition. The available procurement information identifies the appointed supplier and value, but does not set out a separate price or quality scoring basis.

This award shows demand from Milton Keynes City Council for external project management and consultancy support on capital works at The Hide and Fullers Slade. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate practical project-management capability across construction or building programmes, together with the engineering, architectural or inspection knowledge needed to coordinate specialist work and advise the public-sector client. Relevant firms should be able to manage delivery interfaces, programme activity, risks, reporting and client relationships from project initiation through completion. The award to a small and medium-sized enterprise indicates that the requirement can be delivered by an appropriately resourced specialist consultancy, rather than only by a large national contractor. Experience of public-sector capital works and framework-based procurement would strengthen a supplier’s position.
