Summary of the contracting process

The University of Birmingham procured planning and environmental impact assessment services for the Clinical Skill BHIC fitout. The requirement covers architectural, engineering and planning services associated with planning the fitout, with environmental impact assessment forming part of the stated service scope. The work is for the University of Birmingham, based in Edgbaston, Birmingham, and delivery is in the United Kingdom. This is a professional services requirement for firms able to advise on planning matters and environmental assessment in support of a clinical skills facility fitout. The procurement relates to one defined requirement and was awarded as a services contract to a specialist consultancy rather than for construction, equipment supply or routine facilities management.

The procurement has been completed and awarded to Turley Associates Ltd. It used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition, under the stated SSA process. The contract was signed on 17 August 2024 and ran from 18 August 2024 to 22 August 2025. Its value was £52,000 excluding VAT, or £62,400 including VAT. The award covered the full requirement. The recorded award is active and the contract is active. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, so there is no competing-bid assessment to replicate. This outcome identifies the buyer’s chosen route for securing planning and environmental impact assessment support for the Clinical Skill BHIC fitout.

This procurement indicates demand from the University of Birmingham for integrated planning and environmental impact assessment advice linked to clinical or specialist educational facilities. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability in planning services, environmental impact assessment and the architectural or engineering interfaces that arise during a complex fitout. Relevant experience should show that the firm can turn a proposed facility into a deliverable planning strategy, coordinate technical inputs and support the client through planning and environmental requirements. The selected supplier was a large consultancy, indicating that the buyer accepted a provider with the capacity to combine these disciplines and manage the requirement as a single professional-services package. Firms monitoring this buyer should be able to evidence comparable institutional or healthcare-related project work.
