The appointed practice will provide full architectural services, with the work covering projects commissioned by the College and potentially selected projects beyond the stated usual project scale. This is a professional services requirement, rather than a building works contract. The College is based in Bedford, and the procurement identifies delivery in the United Kingdom as well as a broad range of other locations. The service is intended for businesses able to undertake architectural work for an education-sector client and support project delivery across the College’s programme. One supplier is sought to provide the service across the requirement. The process reached tender: Bedford College invited offers through an open procedure, with the opportunity accessed and quoted for through the MultiQuote supplier portal. The tender set a submission deadline of 30 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract period is from 1 December 2026 to 2 December 2030. The estimated procurement value is £1,166,666.67. The College seeks one supplier; no separate lots are identified. The stated contract term is four years. The tender describes full architectural services for projects valued up to £5 million, with selected projects above that level possible at the College’s request. The published details do not set out an evaluation weighting or an enquiry deadline. This requirement suits an architectural practice able to provide a full range of architectural services and support projects from inception through delivery. Suppliers should be capable of serving a college client and managing work across a programme rather than bidding only for one defined building project. The stated scope includes projects at a range of scales, with the possibility of selected larger commissions, so relevant experience, adaptable resourcing and the ability to manage varying project demands will be important commercially. Bedford College indicates that the opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to practices of that size as well as larger firms. The buyer seeks a single provider, favouring practices able to take overall responsibility for the service. ## Notice Bedford College is seeking to appoint a single supplier to provide Architectural Services in support of College projects. The appointed supplier will provide full architectural services for projects with values up to PS5 million and, where required by the College, selected projects exceeding this value. The contract will be awarded for a period of four years. To access this competition: Registered: Login to https://suppliers.multiquote.com and view the opportunity CA18502.
