Church Building or Hall Projects

Procurement (tendering for goods, works and services)

It's important to understand when and how to tender for professional services, such as architect fees, as well as goods and works from a building contractor.  A funding application is likely to require evidence you have followed the correct procedure for tendering.

  • DAC guidance on selecting an architect although this webpage refers to QI Architects, the guidance can be applied wider to the appointment of architects as well as tendering for other goods and services.
  • Procurement guidance from the Church Buildings Council about the legal requirements for tendering for professional services (such as an architect), goods and works
  • Architect's Brief - This weblink may also be of interest.

On grant applications, you need to clearly show VAT both an expenditure and income on eligible works that qualify for VAT reclaim. This, therefore, affects the overall budget cost. To check which works can be included, speak with your architect. Also refer to the official websites:
