Summary of the contracting process

The contract titled "291 Harrow Road Design Guardian" was conducted by Westminster City Council for the appointment of an architect to serve as a Design Guardian and Client Monitor under the NHS SBS HPCASS Framework Lot 1. The procurement, classified under architectural and related services (CPV code 71200000), took place in London, United Kingdom. This procurement was carried out through a selective process involving a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period closed on 12 February 2026, and the contract is active, commencing on 20 July 2026 and running until 30 June 2031. The total contract value is £287,250, and it has been awarded to Hunter & Partners Ltd.

This tender presents business growth opportunities, particularly for architectural service providers interested in engaging with public sector projects within the healthcare framework. Companies like small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in architectural design and monitoring services, especially those familiar with the RIBA project stages 4 to 7, could find this tender particularly relevant. While the contract has already been awarded to a large supplier, similar future opportunities under different frameworks could offer promising avenues for SMEs seeking to expand their presence in the London area and within public sector contracts.
