Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by the City of York Council focuses on securing a Framework Contract for Design Services concerning their Housing Investment Projects and Programmes. This undertaking falls under the architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services category, relevant to sub-central government public authorities. Located in York, the procurement applies the open procedure method, inviting broad participation. Notably, timelines include a contract period planned from 1st January 2026 to 1st January 2028, with a potential extension to 1st January 2030. The stage is currently in the award phase, following the tender's completion, and identified winners have been selected, pending formal contract signings scheduled for 8th December 2025. The overall contract holds an estimated value of £700,000, with deadlines for the bidding and awarding processes already having elapsed, having concluded in late 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) specialising in architectural and design services. The procurement allows for the entry of up to five participants under the framework scheme, using a competitive price-to-quality evaluation ratio of 40:60, which can be advantageous for businesses offering high-standard creative solutions. The involvement in a high-profile project such as housing investment in York would enhance a company's portfolio and strengthen its public sector standing. Moreover, the opportunity for renewal ensures continuity, allowing successful bidders to establish a longstanding relationship with the City of York Council and potentially secure future contracts as they arise.
