## Summary

Bedford College is seeking project management and cost consultancy for its construction projects. The service is intended to provide full project management and cost consultant support across College projects, generally those valued up to £5 million. The College may also use the appointed supplier on selected projects above that level, depending on its requirements and assessment of each project; some projects below the threshold may be excluded at the College’s discretion. The work is construction consultancy. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, for Bedford College, based in Bedford.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The tender set an enquiry deadline of 30 October 2026 at 12:00 and a bid submission deadline of 10 November 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 4 January 2027 to 3 January 2031. The estimated value is £700,000 excluding VAT (£840,000 including VAT). There is one lot. The award was to be assessed equally on quality and price, each weighted at 50%.

This opportunity suits project management and cost consultancy firms with the capability to support construction projects from project management and cost consultancy perspectives. The anticipated work covers College projects across a range of sizes, with projects generally up to £5 million and the possibility of selected larger projects where the College chooses to appoint the supplier. The single lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Competition balances quality of the proposed service equally with price, so suppliers should be ready to demonstrate the quality of their project management and cost consultancy offer alongside competitive pricing. The requirement relates to Bedford College’s construction programme in Bedford and elsewhere in the United Kingdom, as required by the College.

## Notice

Bedford College is seeking an efficient, high quality Project Management & Cost Consultant Service to provide full Project Management & Cost Consultant support on all College projects at values up to PS5m. Selected projects above this value will also utilise the appointed supplier - this will be subject to College requirements and be assessed on a job-by-job basis. Similarly, there may be projects below PS5m which will not form part of this contract, at the discretion of the College.
