Summary of the contracting process

Mid Suffolk District Council appointed lead consultant and architectural services for the reconfiguration of the car park at Needham Lake. The requirement covers architectural and related professional services associated with planning and delivering changes to the car park, rather than construction works themselves. The buying organisation is Mid Suffolk District Council, a public authority based in Ipswich. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, at Needham Lake. This opportunity is relevant to architectural practices, lead consultants and multidisciplinary built-environment advisers with the capability to develop and support car park reconfiguration projects. It may also suit smaller architectural firms able to provide the required professional leadership and technical services for a council-led local infrastructure project.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded on 21 July 2026 to KLH ARCHITECTS LIMITED. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award covers one requirement and has a gross value of £31,260, equivalent to £26,050 excluding VAT. The awarded contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. A contract signature was scheduled for 22 July 2026. The selected supplier is an Ipswich-based small or medium-sized enterprise. The procurement concerned architectural and related services for the Needham Lake car park reconfiguration. The award was made by Mid Suffolk District Council, with the procurement recorded as an active award and a completed tender process.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Mid Suffolk District Council for externally appointed architectural expertise on local car park infrastructure. A credible future competitor would need to provide lead consultant services alongside architectural and related professional capability, and to translate a council requirement for car park reconfiguration into a deliverable project. Relevant firms are likely to be architectural practices or built-environment consultancies with experience coordinating public-sector clients, developing changes to parking facilities and managing professional inputs through a defined project period. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller practice with suitable capacity and specialist capability. Firms tracking this buyer should treat architectural services for local infrastructure and parking projects as a relevant area of business development.
