Summary of the contracting process

Uttlesford District Council has completed the contracting process for the "Design Review of Uttlesford Decarbonisation Scheme," focusing on RIBA Stages 4 technical design. This contract falls under the services industry category and involves architectural and related services. Taking place in Saffron Walden, United Kingdom, the procurement was conducted through a direct, below-threshold method without competition. The procurement reached the award stage on 1st June 2025, with the contract period running from 1st July to 31st August 2025. This process follows the legal basis outlined by UK legislation 2023/54.

This tender presented an opportunity for businesses specialising in architectural services, particularly those involved in decarbonisation schemes, to engage with a sub-central government authority. Large firms, like the awarded supplier D3 Associates, are well-suited to handle such projects given their scale and capability to manage complex design reviews. The contract value was set at GBP 27,000, reflecting both the specialised nature and the limited scope of the project, offering potential growth avenues for businesses proficient in environmental and technical design fields.
