The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has recently completed the procurement process for architectural services related to the abatement works at Earnscliffe High Commissioner's residence in Ottawa, Canada. The procurement falls under the "Architectural and building-surveying services" category and is designated for the public authority – central government. The contract was awarded to Shean Architects Inc from Ottawa, without competition, utilising a direct procurement method since it was below the threshold. The contract is active from 24th March 2026 and is scheduled to conclude on 30th September 2026. The total contract value secured is £70,303 CAD.

This tender presents a targeted opportunity primarily for architectural service firms, focusing on recording, planning, and coordination for high-profile projects.
