UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), through its Science and Technology Facilities Council, commissioned professional civil and structural engineering services for the design of a new Estates and Logistics Building at Daresbury Laboratory. The requirement covers professional design services for this building project; the award also classifies the work as construction project management services. Delivery is at Daresbury Laboratory in the UK. This is a single, complete lot, rather than a multi-lot programme, and forms part of UKRI’s estate and logistics development at the laboratory.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Pell Frischmann Consultants Limited. UKRI ran a competitive further competition under its UKRI-4453 framework agreement, using a selective, framework-based route. The award was made on 24 September 2026, for £154,000 excluding VAT (£184,800 including VAT). The contract period runs from 28 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The requirement was handled as one lot. The published procurement information does not set out specific eligibility requirements or evaluation criteria, so the award basis beyond the competitive framework competition cannot be described.

For a future requirement of this kind at Daresbury Laboratory, credible competitors will need to provide professional civil and structural design services for a new estates and logistics building, with the technical capability to support building design through a public-sector project. UKRI used a competitive further competition under its UKRI-4453 framework, so a supplier would need to be appointed to the relevant framework to compete through that route. The awarded work was delivered by a large consultancy, indicating that the buyer selected an established professional-services provider for this project. Businesses with relevant building-design expertise and the capacity to work within a framework competition are the closest fit. The requirement is specific to UKRI’s Daresbury estate development, rather than general construction or unrelated consultancy work.
