## Summary

Exeter City Council procured RIBA Stage 3 design consultancy for the RAMM MEND project. The requirement is a professional building-services design service, covering engineering design for mechanical and electrical installations. It sits within the services category and relates to work delivered in the Exeter area. The council is the public-sector buyer and commissioning organisation. The appointed service therefore suits consultancies able to develop coordinated mechanical and electrical designs at RIBA Stage 3, rather than contractors supplying equipment or carrying out construction alone. Businesses considering comparable work should recognise this as a project-specific design commission for a municipal client, with the technical focus on building systems and the delivery context linked to the council’s RAMM MEND programme.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was completed, and Eddisons Commercial Limited trading as BTG Eddisons was selected. The contract was signed on 29 July 2026, with an active contract period from 17 August 2026 to 5 September 2026. Its gross value is £98,400 including taxes. Exeter City Council evaluated the requirement through a limited procedure for services. The award covers the RIBA Stage 3 design consultancy and, specifically, engineering design services for mechanical and electrical building installations. The contract is below the applicable threshold. The recorded outcome is an active award and active contract, rather than an abandoned or unsuccessful procurement.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible suppliers would need demonstrable capability in building-services engineering design, particularly mechanical and electrical installations, and the ability to produce coordinated RIBA Stage 3 design information. Experience working for a local authority or on public-building programmes would help establish familiarity with client governance, statutory requirements and stakeholder coordination. Suppliers should also be able to manage a tightly defined consultancy commission and provide suitably qualified design professionals within a short project delivery window. The appointed supplier was an SME, showing that this scale and route can suit smaller specialist consultancies as well as larger multidisciplinary practices. Relevant experience with museum, civic or heritage-building projects would be commercially useful where it can be evidenced against the RAMM MEND requirement.
