Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement by Clyde Gateway URC focuses on architectural services for a new community building at Baltic Street Adventure Play, located in Dalmarnock, Glasgow. This notice, classified under the CPV code for architectural services for buildings, was completed using a limited procurement method. This method involved a direct award without prior publication of a call for competition due to the intrinsic knowledge required for the project's specific needs and deadlines. The contract was signed on 19th June 2025 with INCH Architecture as the lead architect and design team, valued at £115,720.00. The process falls under a Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency Notice and the relevant legal basis is the 2014 EU Directive on public procurement.

This tender presents considerable business opportunities, especially for large architectural firms with expertise in community building projects. The direct award reflects a targeted collaboration due to the project's specific scope and previous involvement of the chosen supplier. Businesses with a strong portfolio in urban regeneration and community-centric designs would find this procurement an advantageous opportunity to demonstrate their expertise and potentially establish a long-term partnership with Clyde Gateway URC. The project's location in a developing area of Glasgow further adds to the potential for active engagement in ongoing urban regeneration initiatives.
