## Summary

Aberystwyth University commissioned RIBA Plan of Work 2020 Stage 3 spatial coordination design services for six Green Futures Innovation Park projects. The scope covers five projects in Phase 1 and the Grain and Legume Centre. This is architectural and design consultancy work, supporting coordination of the projects’ designs. The delivery location is recorded as the United Kingdom; Aberystwyth University is based in Aberystwyth, Wales.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to George and Thomas. The award date was 12 October 2026, with a contract period from 26 October 2026 to 31 January 2027. The awarded value is £67,245 excluding VAT (£80,694 including VAT). It was a below-threshold limited competition with one lot. Three bids were received, all from SMEs. The published evaluation basis and eligibility requirements are not described in the available procurement information.

The award shows that Aberystwyth University buys specialist design services for spatial coordination across a multi-project innovation park programme, including food and crop research facilities. George and Thomas, an SME, was selected through a limited competition against two other bidders, indicating that a small consultancy could compete for this scale of commission. Suppliers seeking to be credible for a comparable requirement would need architectural design capability aligned to RIBA Stage 3 and the capacity to coordinate work across several related projects. Experience delivering coordinated designs for research, innovation or specialist facilities would be relevant to this buyer’s requirement. The six-project scope suggests a need to manage consistent design coordination across multiple facilities rather than a single standalone project.

## Notice

Aberystwyth University (the University) invites quotations for RIBA Plan of Work 2020 Stage 3 (Spatial Coordination) design services on six projects of the Green Futures Innovation Park (GFIP): five in Phase 1 and the Grain and Legume Centre.
