Summary of the contracting process

The Benson Parish Council is seeking proposals for the redevelopment of a Pavilion Building located on Sunnyside, adjacent to the Parish Hall in Wallingford, United Kingdom (region UKJ14). This project, valued at approximately £1,000,000, requires architectural design services to transform the site into a youth hub complete with various facilities such as kitchen serveries and accessible toilets. The tender process is currently in the active stage, and the council has adopted an open procurement method. Businesses have until 14 June 2026 to submit their quotes in English to the appointed contact at the council, with the contract period set to commence on 1 September 2026 and conclude by 1 November 2027.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for architectural practices specialising in innovative design solutions to secure a substantial project. The contract is well-suited to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within a 55-mile radius, considering the council's stipulations regarding proximity for project management efficiency. Given the project's emphasis on design quality and competitive pricing, businesses with a portfolio reflecting a blend of cost-effectiveness and creative design proficiency are ideally positioned to compete. Engaging in this contract can provide substantial business growth through project visibility and potential future collaborations with public authorities.
