Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Hillingdon commissioned consultancy services for a public realm project in Hayes town centre. The work was intended to establish an initial framework to support the town centre’s vitality and vibrancy, and to improve connections between the high street, the Old Vinyl Factory site and the new Hayes and Harlington station. The project also involved co-design and community dialogue to shape community-focused temporary uses of local spaces and build local pride. The delivery location is Hayes, within the London Borough of Hillingdon. This is urban design and public realm consultancy work, combining strategic advice with community engagement and the development of local activation opportunities.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to MUF Architecture / Art LLP. The award was made on 20 January 2025, for £58,445, with a contract period from 20 January to 19 May 2025. The original estimated procurement value was £60,000. Hillingdon used a limited competitive quotation process below the applicable threshold. The competition closed on 1 November 2024 at 13:00 UTC. The project was presented as a single requirement, rather than divided into lots. The published information describes the project aims and requirement, but gives no specific evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements to report.

This award shows that Hillingdon has bought focused consultancy to shape public realm improvements in a town centre, with an emphasis on links between transport, the high street and a major redevelopment site. A credible competitor for similar work would need to combine public realm or urban design expertise with the ability to develop practical early-stage frameworks and identify opportunities for temporary community use of public space. The brief also points to a need for inclusive co-design and strong community engagement: suppliers should be able to build dialogue with local people and turn that input into proposals that support local identity and activity. The selected supplier was an SME, and the buyer marked the requirement as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller consultancies can compete for this scale and type of commission.
