The appointed consultant is expected to provide full project management and cost consultant support for projects generally valued up to £5 million. The College may also use the supplier on selected projects above that level, assessed individually, and may exclude some projects below it at its discretion. The work is associated with Bedford College in Bedford, England; the procurement also records delivery coverage across the United Kingdom and other locations. This is a construction consultancy opportunity, suited to firms able to provide both project management and cost consultancy rather than a single specialist service. Bedford College invited offers through an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 10 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The expected contract period runs from 4 January 2027 to 3 January 2031. The estimated contract value is £700,000. The requirement is presented as a single service opportunity, with projects selected by the College and work above the usual £5 million project threshold considered individually. The published tender sets an open competition; no separate enquiry deadline, evaluation weighting or detailed award criteria are provided in the available procurement information. This opportunity is most relevant to consultancies able to combine project management with cost consultancy and support a varied portfolio of college projects. Suppliers should be equipped to provide end-to-end project support, with the capacity to take on multiple projects and to scale their input to the requirements of individual commissions, including selected larger projects. The College has indicated that the contract is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so smaller consultancies may be relevant if they can demonstrate the necessary breadth and delivery capacity. The published requirement does not set out specific professional accreditations, named staff qualifications, minimum turnover or experience thresholds, so firms should judge their fit against their ability to deliver the combined services across projects of differing values and needs. ## Notice Bedford College is seeking an efficient, high quality Project Management & Cost Consultant Service to provide full Project Management & Cost Consultant support on all College projects at values up to PS5m. Selected projects above this value will also utilise the appointed supplier - this will be subject to College requirements and be assessed on a job-by-job basis. Similarly, there may be projects below PS5m which will not form part of this contract, at the discretion of the College.
