The current procurement stage is the active tender process, with key deadlines including the tender period ending on 2 June 2026 and the enquiry period closing on 20 May 2026. The competitive flexible procedure method is being employed, which involves multiple stages to shortlist and select suppliers. The contract, valued at £2.5 million GBP with a gross value of £3 million GBP, is set to commence on 14 August 2026 and potentially extend up to several years, subject to project progression. This tender represents a significant opportunity for experienced architectural practices specialising in large-scale residential development to expand their portfolio. The project's scope covers comprehensive architectural services across all RIBA stages, initially focusing on early design and development phases. Businesses equipped with robust capacity, sector-specific knowledge, and a track record of handling similar sustainable development projects are well-suited to compete. Successful bidders will gain the chance to contribute to a transformative urban regeneration agenda, potentially securing long-term partnerships with the Wythenshawe Community Housing Group. ## Notice Wythenshawe Community Housing Group (WCHG) is procuring architectural services to support the redevelopment of a number of existing residential sites as part of the wider Wythenshawe Regeneration Programme.
