UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wilton Park commissioned professional architectural services for the construction phase of accessible bedrooms at its Wiston House site in Steyning, West Sussex. The requirement covers architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services, focused on delivering accessible bedroom accommodation. The buyer is Wilton Park, a central government public authority operating from Wiston House. The work is therefore relevant to architectural practices and built-environment consultancies able to support construction projects at this site, particularly those with experience of accessible accommodation and professional services during construction. The procurement concerns services rather than construction works or the supply of products, and relates to one completed requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold direct award without competition under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded to PENWARDEN HALE LTD, an SME. The contract value is £20,833 excluding VAT, or £25,000 including VAT. The contract was signed on 14 May 2026 and runs from 14 May 2026 to 31 March 2027. The selected supplier is providing the architectural professional fees for the accessible-bedroom construction phase. The procurement used a direct route rather than an open competition, so the outcome reflects a completed single-supplier appointment. The award remains active for the stated contract period.

This procurement shows Wilton Park’s demand for specialist architectural professional services linked to accessible bedrooms and construction-phase delivery at Wiston House. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to provide architectural expertise covering construction projects, with the ability to support the delivery and inspection aspects identified in the service classification. Relevant capability in accessible bedroom design or adaptation would be directly aligned with the requirement. Suppliers would also need to operate effectively within a direct-award or below-threshold public-sector environment, where a concise, clearly scoped professional-fee offer may be important. The incumbent is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist practice rather than only a large multidisciplinary firm.
