## Summary

Bristol City Council appointed an architect to oversee RIBA Stages 5 and 6 for the Henbury Court project. These stages cover the technical design, construction support, completion and handover aspects of an architectural commission. The requirement is for professional architectural services, with the wider classification covering architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services. The work is for Henbury Court in Bristol and is being procured by Bristol City Council, a local public authority. The appointed supplier is expected to provide architectural oversight through the later design and delivery stages, coordinating the professional input needed to support construction and bring the project to completion. This is a focused commission rather than a general construction contract, so it is most relevant to architectural practices able to manage RIBA Stage 5 and Stage 6 services.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to CONSTELLIA LIMITED. The council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 18 August 2026 and runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £47,283.16 excluding VAT, or £56,739.79 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The process covered one lot, relating to the Henbury Court RIBA Stages 5 and 6 commission. The outcome reflects a direct, non-competitive route rather than an open tender with competing bids. The selected supplier is a London-based SME. No separate quality or price weighting is recorded for the award; the procurement route was the determining process.

This award demonstrates Bristol City Council’s demand for specialist architectural oversight during the construction and completion phases of a housing or building project. A credible competitor for similar work would need practical experience delivering RIBA Stage 5 technical design support and Stage 6 completion and handover services, rather than only concept or planning design. Relevant capability includes coordinating architects, engineers, contractors and inspection activity; resolving technical issues during construction; maintaining design information; supporting quality control; and managing defects, completion records and handover. The requirement is suited to an architectural practice or consultancy with sufficient senior oversight and delivery capacity for a single focused commission. Firms able to work directly with a local authority and manage later-stage project responsibilities would be well placed when this buyer next requires comparable services.
