## Summary

Central Bedfordshire Council commissioned interpretation for the ResilienTogether Education HUB at Standalone Farm and locations across the wider Pix Brook catchment. The work includes interpretation and graphic design, development of educational content, artwork production, manufacture and installation of interpretation assets. The materials are intended to support learning and public engagement on flood resilience, sustainable drainage, natural flood management and the local environment. This is a design and interpretation services requirement, including the physical production and installation of the finished assets, rather than a graphics-only commission. Delivery covers Standalone Farm and other locations in the Pix Brook catchment. The buyer is Central Bedfordshire Council.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to FWDP. The council used a below-threshold limited competition, with one lot. The contract was signed on 1 October 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £53,672 excluding VAT (£64,406.40 including VAT). The award is active, and the contract is active. The published information identifies the requirement and selected supplier but does not give a separate award date or describe how bids were evaluated; no evaluation basis can therefore be reported. The award relates to the single lot covering the interpretation and associated design, content, production and installation services.

For suppliers assessing similar future work for Central Bedfordshire Council, this award shows demand for a joined-up interpretation service: graphic and interpretation design, educational content development, artwork production, manufacture and on-site installation. A credible competitor would need to manage the process from developing accessible, engaging content through to delivering durable physical assets at multiple locations. Experience translating specialist subjects—including flood resilience, sustainable drainage, natural flood management and local environmental issues—into learning and engagement materials would be relevant. The requirement combines creative capability with production and installation capacity, so suppliers able to coordinate these stages and work across a catchment-wide site portfolio are well placed to compete when this specific requirement returns to market. The contract was awarded through a limited competition, providing a precedent for the buyer’s route to market.
