UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Fenland District Council procured architectural design and technical consultancy for the enhancement of Whittlesea railway station. The work is building consultancy, covering design and technical services for the station enhancement. The council is based in March, and the project concerns Whittlesea station in Cambridgeshire. The procurement was structured as a single lot and awarded to GA Trains Limited. This requirement is relevant to firms that provide architectural design and technical consultancy for railway station improvement projects, particularly suppliers able to work with a district council on a defined station enhancement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to GA Trains Limited. Fenland District Council used a direct award without competition under a below-threshold procedure. The award date was 1 April 2026, at a gross value of £75,590. The contract period runs from 21 October to 31 December 2026. The procurement comprised one lot. The available details identify the service required but do not set out evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements. The contract covers architectural design and technical work for the Whittlesea station enhancement; the award is recorded as active.

This award shows demand from Fenland District Council for architectural and technical consultancy focused on railway station enhancement, delivered at a small, defined-project scale. GA Trains Limited, a large supplier, was selected through a direct award without competition. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to demonstrate relevant architectural design and building consultancy expertise, together with the technical capability to develop station improvement work. Experience in railway environments and in coordinating design with technical requirements would be commercially relevant to this specific buyer and project type. The procurement gives firms in station design and technical consultancy a concrete example of the services the council has commissioned.
