Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Southwark commissioned university-level educational services linked to the restoration of East Lodge at Nunhead Cemetery. The work is to create and deliver three related university modules or activities for architecture and product design students at London South Bank University. Delivery is in England, in connection with the cemetery restoration. This combines higher-education teaching and activity design with a specific heritage-building project, rather than general university teaching or restoration works. The buyer is Southwark Council; London South Bank University is the selected provider. The requirement is relevant to universities or education providers able to develop architecture and product-design learning around a live restoration project, and to work with the council and its project context.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to London South Bank University through a direct award. The award was made on 23 December 2024, for £29,660. The contract period runs from 6 January 2025 to 28 July 2028. The requirement is a single package covering three student modules or activities; no separate lots are identified. The procurement was classified as university-level adult education services, with the overall requirement recorded as services. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable. The process information identifies the direct-award route, but does not describe a scored competition or evaluation criteria. The selected supplier and award value reflect the outcome for delivery of the specified university engagement associated with East Lodge restoration at Nunhead Cemetery.

This award demonstrates a defined need for education providers able to turn a public heritage restoration into structured learning for architecture and product-design students. A credible future supplier would need curriculum and activity-design capability across both disciplines, as well as the capacity to deliver three connected modules or activities over a multi-year project. Experience linking university teaching with practical restoration work, coordinating with a local authority and engaging students in a site-specific project would be directly relevant. The selected provider is a university, so an institution with suitable academic expertise and the ability to organise student participation is well placed. The direct award shows the route used for this purchase, rather than evidence of competition on price or technical scoring; prospective competitors should therefore be prepared to demonstrate a clear fit with the buyer’s particular restoration and educational aims.
