UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) bought architectural services for the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) under its business-as-usual framework. The requirement is for architectural work, within the broader field of construction, engineering and inspection services. The procurement was organised as a single lot and covered services for STFC. The supplied information does not identify a specific delivery site, so the work cannot be tied to a particular town or facility. UKRI is the buying organisation; STFC is the part of UKRI for which the services were procured. This is an architectural consultancy requirement rather than a purchase of construction materials or building works.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a competitive call-off under a framework, using a selective process. Stride Treglown Ltd was selected for the single lot. The award date was 21 October 2026, and the contract period runs from 2 November 2026 to 31 March 2029. The awarded value is £370,487.63 excluding VAT (£444,585.16 including VAT). The procurement data gives the category of work and award outcome, but does not set out the evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements. The award is active; a contract signature date was scheduled for 2 November 2026. This was an award under an existing framework rather than an open standalone competition.

For architectural practices, this award shows UKRI buying ongoing architectural services for STFC through a competitive framework call-off. A credible future competitor would need to provide architectural consultancy suited to STFC’s business-as-usual requirements, and be positioned to compete for work through the relevant framework route. The award went to a large architectural practice, indicating that a supplier with the capacity to deliver a sustained commission of this scale was selected. Practices seeking comparable work should be able to demonstrate relevant architectural capability and the organisational capacity to support a public research and technology client. The procurement provides a concrete example of the type of architectural service UKRI procures for STFC; it does not establish additional technical, accreditation or experience thresholds.
