Summary of the contracting process

Bournemouth and Poole College procured architectural services for the college. The requirement is classified as architectural and related services (CPV 71200000), with the work associated with the college in Poole, Dorset. The procurement was organised as a single lot. This is a professional services requirement for an architectural consultancy, rather than construction works or the purchase of building materials. The buyer is the college, based on North Road in Poole.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Peter Marsh Consulting Ltd. The college used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The recorded award value is £40,502.25 including taxes. The contract period runs from 12 October 2026 to 11 October 2027, with signature scheduled for 11 October 2026. The tender is recorded as complete, while the award itself is marked pending. The process comprised one lot, which was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria are recorded.

This award shows that Bournemouth and Poole College buys architectural consultancy services at a modest, single-lot scale, and has used a direct, non-competitive route for this requirement. A credible competitor when the requirement next returns would need to demonstrate architectural and related-services capability suited to the college’s needs, together with the capacity to deliver a defined consultancy engagement for one educational client. The recorded suitability of the lot for SMEs indicates that smaller practices may be appropriately scaled for this type of work; it does not establish any specific accreditation, technical specialism or experience requirement. Suppliers should be prepared to explain relevant architectural experience and how their service would meet the college’s project needs.
