Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council commissioned professional design and related consultancy services for the redevelopment of Leicester Train Station. The scope covers RIBA Stages 3 to 4a, with the potential continuation into RIBA Stages 4b to 7. The requirement was divided into Part A, covering RIBA Stages 3 to 4a, and Part B, covering Stages 4b to 7; the Council may proceed to Part B when required. The work is delivered in Leicester. It falls within research, development and related consultancy services (CPV 73000000), although the practical requirement is architectural, engineering, design and project consultancy support for a major railway-station redevelopment. Leicester City Council is the buying organisation. The contract was awarded under ESPO 2664-22 Lot 1B.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Arcadis Consulting (UK) Limited. It used a limited negotiated procedure without publication of a contract notice, under ESPO 2664-22 Lot 1B, for additional or repeated services from the original supplier. The original award comprised Part A at £1,571,742 excluding VAT, ending on 30 October 2024, and Part B at £354,599.78 excluding VAT. The combined original value was £1,926,341.78. Part A was subsequently varied by £577,572.20, extending its end date to 31 May 2025 and bringing the stated total after variation to £2,503,913.98 excluding VAT. Active contract records show values of £1,926,341, £2,189,214.18 and £2,307,904.68, with 960-day periods for the latter two records. Contracts were signed on 1 December 2022.

This award indicates sustained demand from Leicester City Council for specialist multidisciplinary consultancy on complex transport and civic infrastructure projects. A credible future competitor would need to lead or support RIBA design development from Stage 3 through construction-stage and completion services, with the technical, design-management and project-coordination capability needed for a railway-station redevelopment. Experience of integrating architectural, engineering, construction and stakeholder requirements on a live or major transport site would be relevant. The procurement also shows that continuity, knowledge of the existing design and avoidance of duplicated work were important to the Council’s decision to retain the original supplier. Suppliers should therefore be able to demonstrate comparable station, rail, public-sector or major infrastructure work, the capacity to sustain services through later project stages, and robust multidisciplinary teams.
