Description

NOTE: This notice was updated on 19 December 2025 for the following reason: This Contract Details Notice addendum is published by Scape Group Ltd on behalf of Arc Property Services Partnership (Arc Partnership).
Extension to the existing arrangement: Increased award value from £172,720.00 to £312,720.00 and extension of duration from 16/09/2025 to 31/03/2026.
This modification to increase in the award value and extend the duration has resulted in this former below threshold procurement to now exceed the services threshold. It is therefore considered to be a convertible contract and shall now be deemed to be a fully regulated public contract.
The extension has been undertaken on the grounds stipulated in Schedule 5 (7) of the Procurement Act 2023.
Leonard Design have played an integral role in the Arc Partnership Design Team being able to undertake design work on the eleven academy projects issued to us by our client Nottinghamshire County Council. They have worked closely with the Team and have integrated significantly, working in the office alongside key members of staff.
Without the additional resources from Leonard Design, Arc Partnership will not be able to continue the works for our Client using internal staff only.
Removal of Leonard Design would result in Arc Partnership potentially needing to take the time to not only undertake the above threshold procurement exercise but also to then potentially have to train a new supplier on the background of each of the projects and update them on Arc Partnership's working practices. This adds substantial levels of risk to the project timelines which must be strictly adhered to. Failure to remain on programme is not an option at this time as any delay could jeopardise the construction of the academies and result in the schools not being ready in take for the intake of new school children.
On these grounds, Ar. CPV: Architectural and related services (71200000). Procedure: Not specified
