## Summary

East Suffolk Council procured architectural review services. The requirement is for an architectural service to review designs and plans and provide professional advice. The work concerns architectural and related services and is delivered in East Suffolk, within the council’s area. The buying organisation is East Suffolk Council, based at East Suffolk House in Melton, Woodbridge. This is a professional services requirement suited to architectural practices, architectural consultants and related built-environment advisers able to assess design proposals, examine plans and provide clear recommendations to the council. The procurement covers a single requirement rather than a range of separately described service packages.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. East Suffolk Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Hawkins & Associates Limited was selected as the supplier, with an award recorded as active. The award date was 10 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 11 July 2026 to 10 July 2027. Its value is £85,000 excluding VAT and £102,000 including VAT. The procurement has one completed requirement. The published outcome therefore records a direct, non-competitive appointment rather than an open tender evaluated against competing bids.

This award indicates a defined requirement for independent architectural scrutiny within East Suffolk Council: reviewing designs, checking plans and advising on proposed solutions. Competitors seeking similar council work would need credible architectural review capability, with practitioners able to interpret technical drawings and planning or design information, identify issues and explain practical recommendations clearly to a public-sector client. The appointed supplier is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that the requirement can be delivered by an SME-scale practice rather than only by a large consultancy. Familiarity with public-sector procurement and the ability to undertake a focused professional advisory commission would strengthen a future competitor’s position.
