Summary of the contracting process

The University of Chichester has completed a procurement process for the "Student Union - Wheelchair Access - Civil Engineer & Quantity Surveyor" project. This procurement, conducted under an open method below threshold, focuses on the industry category of civil engineering consultancy services and quantity surveying services for civil engineering works. Situated in Chichester, United Kingdom, the project aims to facilitate external wheelchair access at the Student Union Building on the Bishop Otter Campus. The procurement process, which progressed from the tender stage announced on 14th May 2025, through to an update on 13th June 2025, concluded with contract awards on 7th July 2025. The contracts for both the Civil Engineer and Quantity Surveyor were set to commence on 1st September 2025 and conclude on 30th August 2026, with a future signature milestone scheduled for 20th August 2025.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for SMEs in the civil engineering and quantity surveying sectors, as evidenced by the involvement of Archibald Shaw and Rekan, both SMEs, in fulfilling these roles under active contracts. This project is ideally suited for businesses with capabilities in conducting feasibility studies and implementing solutions based on those studies, especially firms emphasizing coherence to organisational requirements, competitive pricing, and social value contributions. The engagement scope includes two phases, with Phase 1 focusing on feasibility study execution for a fixed fee and Phase 2 contingent on the feasibility study results, providing structured growth opportunities for businesses willing to demonstrate industry expertise and offer sustainable solutions.
