Summary of the contracting process

Drayton Parish Council procured architectural services for the reconfiguration, alteration and refurbishment of the King George V Cricket Pavilion at the King George V Playing Field, Drayton High Road, Drayton, NR8 6AW. The work is intended to modernise and expand the pavilion so it meets current football and cricket standards, while improving accessibility throughout the facility. The scope covers the complete design process from RIBA Stage 1 through Stage 5, including the architectural and related services needed to develop and deliver the refurbishment. The buying organisation is Drayton Parish Council, with Greyfriars Project Management Limited assisting with enquiries and contract review. Delivery is associated with the United Kingdom.

This below-threshold procurement was completed through a limited competition. It had one lot, covering the pavilion refurbishment architectural services. Fabric First Architects Limited was awarded the contract, which was signed on 10 August 2026. The active contract runs from 10 August 2026 to 12 August 2027. Its value is £41,750 excluding VAT, or £50,100 including VAT. The procurement was evaluated as a services requirement and the award relates to the full single lot. The published outcome identifies Fabric First Architects Limited as the selected supplier. The contracting process is therefore at the awarded stage, with the contract active rather than merely planned or under evaluation.

This requirement demonstrates demand from a parish council for an architect able to take a community sports-facility refurbishment through the full RIBA Stage 1-5 design sequence. A credible competitor for similar work would need experience in reconfiguration, alteration and refurbishment, with the technical ability to develop designs that support current football and cricket standards. Accessibility should be treated as a core design capability, alongside practical understanding of public-facing facilities and the needs of sports users. The procurement was handled as a below-threshold limited competition and was won by an SME architecture practice, indicating that a suitably capable small or specialist practice can compete for this scale of local-authority project.
