UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bournemouth and Poole College purchased architectural consultancy services from Footprint Architects Ltd. The requirement is for professional architectural services; the procurement identifies architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services as its classification. The work is associated with the College, based in Poole, Dorset, and the award records delivery in the United Kingdom. The available description does not give a more detailed breakdown of tasks or identify a particular building or project. This is a single requirement rather than a set of separately described service packages. The buyer is the College, and the selected supplier is an architectural practice based in Bournemouth.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Footprint Architects Ltd. Bournemouth and Poole College used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 12 October 2026 and runs from 26 October 2026 to 25 October 2027. Its value is £40,502.25 excluding VAT and £48,602.70 including VAT. There was one lot, and the award is active. The published procurement information does not set out evaluation criteria or a competitive assessment basis; the direct award route meant suppliers were not invited to compete in this process.

For architectural practices, this award shows demand from Bournemouth and Poole College for architectural consultancy delivered in the UK, at a relatively modest, single-contract scale. A credible supplier for a comparable requirement would need to demonstrate relevant architectural consultancy capability and the capacity to support the College’s needs across the contract period. The award went to Footprint Architects Ltd, a Bournemouth-based practice, indicating that a local supplier was selected. The procurement used a direct award without competition, so it does not provide evidence of criteria against which competing bids were scored or of specific accreditations, staffing levels or project experience required. Suppliers monitoring this buyer can use the award as evidence of the service category and scale it has purchased.
