Summary of the contracting process

The University of East Anglia appointed a landscape architect for its Sainsbury Centre project. The work is landscape architectural and related design, engineering and planning services. The stated requirement is for a landscape architect with good knowledge of the University’s campus, the University and its policies. The work is in Norwich, at the University’s campus.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was awarded to WWA Landscape through a direct award without competition, under a below-threshold procedure. The contract was signed on 8 September 2026 and runs from 9 September 2026 to 6 September 2027. Its value is £37,115 including VAT. There was one lot, covering the landscape architecture appointment.

For suppliers assessing similar work at the University of East Anglia, this appointment shows that familiarity with the campus, the University and its policies was an important requirement. A credible competitor would need landscape architecture capability and the ability to provide related design, engineering and planning services, alongside a strong understanding of the University’s setting and requirements. The work represents a focused, single-project appointment rather than a multi-lot programme. WWA Landscape, the selected supplier, is based in Feering. The procurement route was a direct award without competition, so this outcome also shows that the University used an existing relationship or other basis for appointing a supplier rather than running a competitive process.
