## Summary

The University of Worcester commissioned quantity surveying and cost consultancy services for the development of an Outdoor Covered Cricket Facility at its Severn Campus in Worcester. The work supports the expansion of the existing campus and covers cost advice during development of concept plans for planning permission, preparation of tender information and support towards appointing a construction contractor under a two-stage JCT Design and Build contract. The appointed consultant is also expected to work with the University and its other consultants to secure best value while maintaining high standards of quality and safety. This is a professional services requirement for quantity surveyors and cost consultants experienced in construction and civil engineering projects, rather than a works contract for building the facility itself.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded on 6 August 2026 to Currie & Brown UK Limited. The awarded value is £13,071.15 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 7 August 2026 to 7 August 2027. The University used a selective negotiated procedure through a mini-competition under the Construction Surveying Consultancy Services lot of the University of Birmingham’s Build Higher framework. The tender submission deadline was 20 May 2026 at 14:40. The requirement was evaluated around securing best value, quality, safety and value for money, alongside the consultant’s relevant experience. The procurement was classified as services and was identified as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For a quantity surveying or cost consultancy business, this award provides a clear example of the capability profile that satisfied the University’s requirement. A credible competitor for similar work would need demonstrable experience providing construction cost advice from concept design through planning and into contractor procurement. It would also need to prepare robust tender information, understand two-stage JCT Design and Build procurement, and collaborate effectively with a public-sector client and multidisciplinary consultant team. The requirement favours established consultancies able to manage cost, quality, safety and value-for-money considerations together, rather than firms offering only price estimation. Experience of university, campus, sports or other complex facilities would help demonstrate relevance, while framework access or an equivalent route into mini-competitions would be commercially important for reaching this buyer.

## Notice

The University's vision is to expand the existing Severn Campus via the creation of an Outdoor Covered Cricket Facility (OCCF). The University wishes to appoint a Cost (Quantity Surveying) Consultancy with the relevant experience to provide cost advice as part of the development of the Concept plans (to obtain planning permission), prepare tender information to allow a contractor to be appointed under a 2-stage JCT D&B contract, work with the University and appointed Consultants to obtain best value, maintaining the highest standards of quality, safety and value for money. The University is running a mini-competition using the Construction Surveying Consultancy Services lot from University of Birmingham's Build Higher framework.
