## Summary

The University of Exeter procured professional architectural, engineering and planning services for its Learning Futures Building Project. The scope covered preparation of a construction method statement; assessment of ground conditions and contamination; an air quality assessment; design of permanent surface-water drainage and its maintenance arrangements; design advice for the proposed construction; arboriculture advice; and project administration fees. The services also included the ECC NMA fee, condition discharge fee and project management fee. The buyer is the University of Exeter, based in Exeter. This is a single, integrated requirement rather than a multi-lot programme, with the work centred on supporting the design, approvals and delivery arrangements for a university construction project.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The University of Exeter made a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, to CarneySweeney Limited. The contract was signed on 17 July 2026 and runs from 20 July 2026 to 19 July 2027. Its value is £41,800.01 excluding VAT and £50,160.01 including VAT. One supplier received the award for the full requirement. The contract is active. The published process identifies architectural, engineering and planning services as the service category. The procurement record does not set out a competitive evaluation exercise; the buying route was a below-threshold direct award without competition.

This requirement demonstrates demand from the University of Exeter for a multidisciplinary consultancy able to support a live university building project from technical assessment through design, approvals and project administration. A credible future supplier would need to combine construction-method expertise with knowledge of ground conditions and contamination, air quality, drainage design and maintenance, arboriculture, and construction design coordination. It would also need to manage planning or condition-discharge matters, relevant fee processes and project management in one coordinated service. The awarded supplier is an SME, indicating that a specialist consultancy of modest scale can deliver this type of requirement. Firms with an integrated technical team and experience of complex building projects for higher-education clients would be well placed when comparable work returns to market.
