UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Middlesbrough Council commissioned professional architectural services for an extension to Middlesbrough Theatre. The project is a modular building extension, and the architect’s work covers both planning and execution. The requirement includes specialist architectural input and knowledge of modular extension construction and materials. The work is in Middlesbrough, serving the theatre building. The procurement falls within architectural and related construction consultancy services (CPV 71000000).

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Edable Architecture Ltd. The council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 24 September 2026 and runs from 24 September 2026 to 14 September 2027. The contract value is £32,413.33 excluding VAT (£38,896 including VAT). The tender comprised one lot, covering the architectural services for the theatre extension. The award followed the council’s stated requirement for an architect specialising in modular building extensions and materials, with significant experience on projects of this type.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible supplier would need to provide professional architectural services spanning both project planning and delivery, with demonstrable specialism in modular building extensions and the materials used for them. Significant relevant project experience was central to the profile sought here, so examples of comparable modular extension work would help establish capability. Suppliers would also need to be able to support a public-sector building project in Middlesbrough and coordinate their architectural input across the extension’s planning and execution. This award shows that the council has bought a focused, specialist service through a direct, below-threshold route rather than a competitive procedure; familiarity with that route and the ability to meet a targeted brief are relevant commercial credentials.
