## Summary

The procurement process overseen by Westmorland and Furness Council involves the provision of a feasibility study and concept designs for the Sandgate School Sixth Form at Kendal College. This project falls under the architectural and engineering services category, specifically targeting SEND requirements. The process was initiated through a selective procurement method, utilising a call-off from a framework agreement, and is currently in the award stage as of 19 March 2026. The location for the project is North West, United Kingdom, with a contract period spanning from 19 March to 24 April 2026. The project deadline was set for 23 January 2026, indicating a condensed timeline for delivery.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) experienced in educational space design, especially those specialising in SEND facilities. The potential for business growth is significant as the project requires a multidisciplinary design approach, offering scope for innovative solutions that meet diverse educational needs. "Architects Plus (UK) Limited," a small enterprise, has been awarded the contract, demonstrating the prospect for similarly scaled businesses to successfully engage and compete in public sector tenders within the architectural and engineering domains.
