UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of East Anglia procured construction project management services for a planned programme of work. The requirement covered project management, cost management, the role of principal designer under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations, and health and safety advisory services. The services support delivery of the university’s anticipated programme, with work in the Norwich area. This is a professional consultancy requirement for suppliers able to coordinate project delivery and cost control while also providing design-stage health and safety oversight and advice. The procurement was arranged through a framework and concerned one lot.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Rider Levett Bucknall UK Limited. The award was made on 10 November 2025 for £1,972,916 gross. The contract was signed on 24 September 2026 and runs from 16 September 2026 to 31 July 2030. The buyer used a selective procedure to make an award under a framework; the framework call-off was not competitive. The requirement was handled as one lot. The published award information identifies construction project management services as the main service category. No evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements are stated in the procurement data.

This award shows that the University of East Anglia buys integrated project consultancy for its anticipated programme: project management and cost management alongside CDM principal designer and health and safety adviser services. A credible competitor when this requirement returns would need to demonstrate the ability to manage construction projects, control and report costs, and provide competent design-risk and health and safety advice within a coordinated service. The selected supplier is a large consultancy, indicating that the buyer appointed an established provider for this substantial, multi-disciplinary commission. Suppliers with relevant construction programme experience and the capacity to cover these linked professional roles are best aligned with the demonstrated demand. The route was an award under a framework, so framework access is relevant to competing for a similar requirement.
