## Summary

Bath and North East Somerset Council commissioned architecture services for BWR Phase 2, supporting preparation of a planning submission. The requirement falls within architectural, engineering and surveying services, with architecture as the clear focus. The work is to be delivered in the United Kingdom, for a council based at The Guildhall in Bath. This is a professional services requirement rather than construction works, goods supply or general consultancy. It would suit architectural practices able to develop and coordinate the design and technical material needed for a planning application, working to a public-sector client’s requirements. The council is the buyer and the service relates to a defined development phase, making relevant experience in planning-led architectural commissions particularly applicable.

The procurement has completed through a direct award, with the contract awarded to Fielden Clegg Bradley. The award was made on 25 May 2026. The awarded value is £325,000. The contract period runs from 26 May 2026 to 31 January 2029. The tender submission deadline was 1 May 2026 at 23:59. The published procurement value was also £325,000. This was a single architecture-services requirement rather than a multi-lot competition. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, although the selected supplier is recorded as a large organisation. The process therefore demonstrates the buyer’s use of direct appointment for this type of planning-support service.

For an architectural practice that did not win this procurement, the award shows that Bath and North East Somerset Council buys substantial, multi-year architecture support for planning submissions on defined development phases. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need strong architectural design capability, planning-submission experience and the ability to produce coordinated material suitable for public-sector review. It would also need enough project management capacity to support delivery across an extended commission, maintain continuity with the council and work through the requirements of a complex phase of development. The recorded SME suitability indicates that smaller practices can be relevant, provided they can demonstrate comparable planning-led work, reliable resourcing and the technical depth expected from an architecture-led professional services team.
