UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Basildon Borough Council is procuring architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services for the commercial retrofit and refurbishment of the former M&S building in Basildon Town Centre. The requirement is for an architect-led consultant team to develop proposals that will convert the building into Cat A office accommodation. The work is therefore suited to multidisciplinary built-environment consultancies able to lead the design and coordinate the technical development of a town-centre office retrofit. Services cover the professional design and consultancy input needed to develop the refurbishment proposals, rather than the construction work itself. Delivery is in Basildon, Essex, within the Basildon Town Centre project area. The procurement is for services and is covered by the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement.

The process reached tender: the Council invited offers through an open procedure. The enquiry deadline was 17 August 2026 at 12:00, and offers were due by the same date and time. Evaluation and award were scheduled to conclude by 12 October 2026 at 23:59. The contract period was set from 12 October 2026 to 30 April 2027, with a maximum extent to 12 October 2027; timeline extensions may be approved for agreed project-plan changes. The estimated contract value is £500,000 gross. There is one lot. Evaluation is based on price (40%), proposed methodology (30%), skills and experience (15%), social value (10%) and programme (5%). Electronic submissions in English were allowed.

This opportunity suits an architect-led consultancy or multidisciplinary team with experience in commercial building retrofit, refurbishment and the development of Cat A office accommodation. Strong candidates will be able to lead architectural proposals, coordinate construction and engineering disciplines, prepare a credible methodology and programme, and demonstrate relevant skills and project experience. The evaluation gives substantial weight to price but places greater combined emphasis on the quality of the proposed approach, team capability, programme and social value. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so smaller specialist practices may be well placed to compete, particularly where they can assemble the necessary consultant disciplines and evidence effective delivery on comparable building projects.
