Summary of the contracting process

Shropshire Council is seeking an architectural team to provide comprehensive services for repairs to the walls of Shrewsbury Castle, a Grade I listed building and Scheduled Monument. The work is architectural design and related professional services for a historic building, with the aim of repairing the castle walls. Delivery is in Shrewsbury, Shropshire. The procurement is for services, rather than construction works: the requirement is to provide the architectural services for the repairs.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition. The tender sets one lot, with a gross estimated value of £120,000. Questions were due by 11:00 on 29 October 2026 and offers by 12:00 that day. The contract period runs from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2028. Evaluation gives 50% to quality, 40% to price and 10% to social value. This is a below-threshold procurement. Electronic submission is allowed. The process has reached tender; no award is recorded in the published information.

The requirement is suited to architectural practices with the qualifications, accreditations and experience needed to deliver comprehensive services for repairs to a Grade I listed building and Scheduled Monument. Suppliers should be equipped to work with the particular constraints of a historically significant castle and its protected walls, and to develop architectural input for their repair. The single-lot structure and stated suitability for small and medium-sized enterprises indicate that SMEs may compete. Quality is the largest evaluation component, with social value also assessed, so bidders will need to set out the strength of their approach and the social value they can offer alongside a competitive price. The council is seeking a suitably experienced team rather than a general building contractor.
