## Summary

Abri Group Limited has awarded several contracts under the "Architect, Employer's Agent, and Principal Designer (Building Regulations) Framework Agreement". The framework agreement encompasses services in the architectural and building consultancy sector, specifically for the provision of Architect, Employer's Agent, and Principal Designer services. The contracts cover a significant number of homes and community assets across the south and south west of England, supporting Abri Group's strategy to deliver approximately 1,000 new homes per annum through to 2030, along with regeneration and refurbishment projects. Notable suppliers include Architecture PLB, Ayre Chamberlain Gaunt Ltd, PDP Architecture LLP, and several others. The selective procurement followed a restricted procedure, with the award process concluding on 19th December 2024.

This framework agreement provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in architectural and building consultancy services. Companies that can offer high-quality and cost-effective services will benefit significantly from participating in such large-scale housing and community projects. SMEs in particular, as evidenced by the number of SME bids, have a good chance of securing work, supported by the procurement's focus on both quality (80%) and cost (20%). Suppliers within the UK, especially those capable of managing large portfolios and delivering consistent quality, will find this tender process highly beneficial for expanding their business and securing long-term contracts.
