Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about architectural services, architectural design, architectural consultancy, architectural tenders in the UK public sector.

  • What counts as an architectural tender in UK and Irish procurement?

    Buyers use the label loosely. Most notices ask for RIBA-stage design services, lead consultant appointments, feasibility studies or planning support, procured under CPV codes such as 71200000 (Architectural and related services) and 71220000 (Architectural design services). A smaller share cover landscape or urban design work, and many sit inside multi-disciplinary consultancy frameworks alongside structural and civil engineering rather than as a standalone architecture contract.

  • How many architectural tenders are open right now?

    There are 27 open architectural tenders on Stotles right now, against a corpus of more than 5,800 notices tracked across UK and Irish sources to date. 2,756 have already reached award, and a further 206 sit at pre-tender stage, so a meaningful share of the pipeline is visible before formal notices go live.

  • What CPV codes cover architectural services?

    The core codes are 71200000 (Architectural and related services), 71220000 (Architectural design services) and 71000000 (Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services), alongside narrower codes for building extensions, outdoor areas and landscape design. Architectural work is rarely procured under one code alone: most notices in this category carry several architecture and engineering codes together, reflecting multi-disciplinary teams rather than architecture-only appointments.

  • How do I find architectural contracts before they go out to tender?

    Two ways in. Search live portals for open architectural tenders, or move earlier: read a buyer's capital programme, budget documents and pre-market engagement notices on Stotles to see a project taking shape before the design brief is written. Pre-tender activity in this category runs into the hundreds at any one time, which is more warning than a single portal search gives you.

  • Are most architectural contracts awarded directly or through frameworks?

    A large share run through multi-disciplinary consultancy frameworks that bundle architectural, structural and building-surveying services under one agreement, rather than as a standalone architecture contract. In Stotles' 2026 Supplier Survey, 44% of suppliers said frameworks were their main route to government work, and that pattern shows up clearly in this category's mix of framework establishments and call-offs.
