## Summary

The procurement process, overseen by Historic England Limited, focuses on "STA - Architect Fees MT fire Safety project," which falls under the services category specifically related to architectural services for buildings of historical or architectural interest. The project location is set in Swindon, with postal code SN2 2EH. The procurement was conducted through a direct method, utilising a single tender action below the threshold, with the process reaching the award completion stage. The pertinent contract period commenced on 23rd September 2024 and will conclude by 4th April 2025. Key dates involved in the procurement included a tender period end date of 20th September 2024, and the award was announced on 30th October 2024, with publication following on the next day. The contract, valued at £70,608.75, was awarded to Pritchard Architecture, a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME).

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in architectural services, particularly those focusing on projects that require expertise in historical or architecturally significant buildings. SMEs like Pritchard Architecture are particularly well-suited to compete for such contracts, given the procurement method favours direct and streamlined processes, making it accessible even to smaller firms. The increased costs due to delays and elevated construction expenses within this project highlight potential for businesses adept at managing complexities in architectural consultancy, making it an attractive proposition for firms aiming to expand their portfolio in the heritage conservation sectors.

## Notice

The above support was included within the awarded contract C/Ref 00000176, however due to delays to undertake this phase of works within that contract and the fact the costs of the overall construction works for the project increased beyond expected; the cost of the consultant fees subsequently increased beyond the allowance within the contract.
