Summary of the contracting process

Fife College commissioned professional architectural services for the refurbishment and modernisation of its Glenrothes Campus Tower Block and associated areas. The work is architectural design and consultancy for an existing education building, rather than new-build construction. Delivery is at the college’s campus in Glenrothes, Fife. The procurement was arranged as a call-off from the Scotland Excel Building Construction Consultancy framework, under its architectural-services lot. The requirement therefore centred on providing professional architectural input for a campus refurbishment project.

The procurement is complete and Ryder Architecture Limited was selected for the contract. It was placed as a direct award under the Scotland Excel framework, despite the process data also labelling the method as open. One bid was recorded for the requirement. The contract is active and was signed on 1 September 2026, at an awarded value of £390,000. The procurement was a single lot covering architectural services for the tower block and associated areas. No award date, contract end date or evaluation criteria are stated in the available process information.

This award demonstrates demand from Fife College for architectural consultancy focused on refurbishing and modernising an existing campus building. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need the architectural expertise to develop and deliver refurbishment work in an operational education setting, including the associated areas rather than only the principal block. The route used here was a direct award through the Scotland Excel Building Construction Consultancy framework, so relevant framework access and a strong fit with its architectural-services scope would matter commercially. The contract was substantial in scale, and the recorded competition consisted of one bid; suppliers should be equipped to deliver the full professional service rather than a narrowly defined design input.
