This undertaking falls under the architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services category, relevant to sub-central government public authorities. Located in York, the procurement applies the open procedure method, inviting broad participation. Notably, timelines include a contract period planned from 1st January 2026 to 1st January 2028, with a potential extension to 1st January 2030. The stage is currently in the award phase, following the tender's completion, and identified winners have been selected, pending formal contract signings scheduled for 8th December 2025. The overall contract holds an estimated value of £700,000, with deadlines for the bidding and awarding processes already having elapsed, having concluded in late 2025. This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) specialising in architectural and design services. The procurement allows for the entry of up to five participants under the framework scheme, using a competitive price-to-quality evaluation ratio of 40:60, which can be advantageous for businesses offering high-standard creative solutions. The involvement in a high-profile project such as housing investment in York would enhance a company's portfolio and strengthen its public sector standing. Moreover, the opportunity for renewal ensures continuity, allowing successful bidders to establish a longstanding relationship with the City of York Council and potentially secure future contracts as they arise. ## Notice Framework Contract in relation to Design Services for City of York Council Housing Investment Projects and Programmes - Design works for City of York Council ### Lot Information Architectural Designer Architectural Design Services Options: Lot 1 - Architectural Designer Lot 2 - Principal Designer *Maximum number of suppliers on a Lot 1 - Architectural Designer is 3 and maximum number of suppliers on Lot 2 - Principal Designer is 2 suppliers Renewal: 12 months + 12 months Principal Designer Principal Design Services Options: Lot 1 - Architectural Designer Lot 2 - Principal Designer *Maximum number of suppliers on a Lot 1 - Architectural Designer is 3 and maximum number of suppliers on Lot 2 - Principal Designer is 2 suppliers Renewal: 12 months + 12 months ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/077934-2025 | | Notice type | UK6 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Nov 2025 | | Submission deadline | 10 Sep 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 21 Nov 2025 | | Contract period | 1 Jan 2026 - 1 Jan 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £700,000 | | Lots value | £700,000 | | Awards value | £700,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Cancelled | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CITY OF YORK COUNCIL | | Additional buyers | Missing | | Locality | YORK | | Post town | York | | Postcode | YO1 6GA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE2 North Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE21 York | | Local authority | York | | Electoral ward | Micklegate | | Westminster constituency | York Central | | Delivery location | TLE21 York | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 3 | | Supplier names | AHR ARCHITECTS; ALIGN PROPERTY PARTNERS; SYCAMORE SQUARE GROUP | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71000000 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ## Release History - 28 Nov 2025 at 09:21 - TenderCancellation - UK12 - Procurement Termination Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/077934-2025 - 24 Nov 2025 at 14:12 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/076506-2025 - 30 Jul 2025 at 15:49 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/044460-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/077934-2025 28th November 2025 - Procurement termination notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/076506-2025 24th November 2025 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/044460-2025 30th July 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - http://www.ahr.co.uk - http://www.alignpropertypartners.co.uk - http://www.sycamoresquaregroup.co.uk - https://uk.eu-supply.com/login.asp?B=YORTENDER - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
