Summary of the contracting process

North Northamptonshire Council has awarded a contract for a multi-disciplinary architect team to progress the Avenue Infant School Extension Project through RIBA Stages 4 to 6. The procurement process, focusing on architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services, falls within the public authority sub-central government category. The project, located in Corby, UK (region UKF25), is part of a direct procurement method conducted below the threshold and without competition. The contract period stretches from 14th May 2026 to 31st October 2028, with the contract award notice published on 12th May 2026.

This tender presents growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specializing in architectural and engineering services, as indicated by its suitability requirements. By involving disciplines such as architecture, civil and structural engineering, quantity surveying, and more, businesses that can provide these integrated services will benefit from participating in such projects, enhancing their portfolio in the public sector. The opportunity allows an SME like HSSP Architects Limited, the current appointed supplier, to showcase expertise in comprehensive school extension projects, thus expanding their reach within government contracts.
