## Summary

The University of Portsmouth Higher Education Corporation is the contracting authority responsible for the procurement of Professional Consultancy Services in the architectural domain. The project involves refurbishing the Neptune Ground Floor Kitchen/Café, which is critical for supporting catering continuity following the closure of an existing campus facility. This tender, identified as "25-651," is underscored by a direct procurement method, below threshold and completed without competition. The contract was awarded on 25th March 2026, with the delivery period ranging from 11th March to 11th July 2026 in Portsmouth, UK. The procurement falls under the services category within the architectural industry.

This tender provides strategic growth opportunities for architectural firms, particularly those with expertise in university infrastructure and refurbishment projects. Arrigoni Architects Ltd, an SME based in London, has secured the contract due to its ability to deliver comprehensive architectural services aligned with the legal requirements and project timetable. Companies with a focus on coordination of complex architectural layouts and experienced in implementing RIBA stages 0-7 would find similar opportunities promising for business expansion within higher education institutions.

## Notice

The University is required to appoint a suitably qualified architectural consultant to deliver complete professional architectural services for the Neptune Ground Floor Kitchen / Cafe Refurbishment from RIBA Stages 0-7, in order to support delivery of the project to a fixed programme for Summer 2026 and to maintain continuity of catering provision following the planned closure of the Chimes Cafe as part of a separate, interdependent campus project. The project forms part of a wider sequence of live and recently completed works within the Neptune Building, where coordination with existing layouts, building services, structural interfaces and previously agreed design strategies is critical.
