## Summary

The procurement process for the redevelopment of Deben High School, focused on architectural and technical assistance, has been completed. Suffolk Coastal District Council and Waveney District Council acted as the buying organisation for this tender categorised under Architectural and related services (CPV code: 71200000). The project is located in the East of England, United Kingdom, with the procurement at the award stage as of 17th October 2025. The competitive quotation method, a limited procurement process below the threshold, was utilised, ensuring opportunities for SMEs and VCSEs. The contract was awarded to MEPK Architects, with a total value of £85,025, and spans from 15th August 2025 to 26th June 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for firms specialising in architectural and technical services, especially those capable of engaging in projects with educational institutions. SMEs and VCSEs, in particular, stand to benefit from this limited method procurement, which is less competitive and more accessible for smaller organisations. The partnership with local councils can foster growth through increased regional engagement and the potential for further collaborations. Businesses experienced in comprehensive architectural solutions and school redevelopments are well-suited to compete for similar future opportunities, enhancing their portfolio and regional presence.
