Summary of the contracting process

Eastleigh Borough Council has recently completed a procurement process to secure consultancy services for the design and delivery of a new residential development. This contract, valued at £216,228 gross, was awarded to MH Architects Limited, an SME based in Chichester. The project falls under the "Architectural and related services" and "Construction consultancy services" industry categories and will be developed according to the RIBA Plan of Work, covering Stages 0 to 4. The procurement used an open method below threshold with competition, ensuring wide participation, and concluded on 4th September 2025. Key timelines include the contract commencement on 9th September 2025 and its completion by the end of 2026, with services predominantly delivered in the UKJ region.

This contract offers significant business growth potentials, particularly for firms in architectural and construction consultancy services. With nine bids received, the opportunity was competitive, especially for SMEs, as all final-stage bids came from smaller enterprises, demonstrating the appeal to such businesses. Companies proficient in delivering comprehensive professional services for residential developments, and capable of performing under open competition scenarios, stand well-suited to compete for similar future tenders. Such engagements not only strengthen expert presence in the sector but also reinforce relationships with public sector authorities.
