Summary of the contracting process

The LHC, in collaboration with Southwark Council, is initiating a tender for the "Architect Design Services (ADS1.1) Framework," which aims to select up to 20 architect practices known for their commitment to diversity and inclusion. This tender falls under the architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services category, with a significant budget of £500 million set aside for the opportunity. The tender period is open until 21st January 2021, and the contract itself is scheduled to commence on 1st October 2021, running through to 30th September 2024. The procurement method employed is a selective process under a restricted procedure, particularly aiming for engagement from qualified practices that can effectively reflect the diverse demographics of London.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for architect firms looking to grow by participating in projects that have a strong social impact, particularly those with a focus on inclusion and community engagement. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply, especially those with demonstrated experience in engaging with under-represented communities and a strong ethos in equality and diversity. Firms that have successfully nurtured talent from disadvantaged backgrounds or BAME communities and are capable of inspiring young people in these demographics are particularly well-suited for this initiative.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Architect Design Services (ADS1.1) Framework

Notice Description

This partnership between LHC and Southwark Council seeks to appoint up to 20 of the very best established and emerging, architect practices with diverse leadership and employees. The proposal is to use both this new framework and our original ADS1 framework (EU Contract Notice 2020/ S 101-245136, Contracts Finder Notice LHC002-DN442036-31304442) as one enhanced solution that together offers a representative and comprehensive panel of architects who come with a range of ethnicities, socio-economic backgrounds and experience that reflects Southwark and the wider London demographic. Southwark is committed to come together to tackle ingrained structural inequality and bring about real and positive change in its borough. The importance of effective engagement with young people and the community as a whole is recognised in designing and creating good public spaces, commercial, educational and residential spaces. It is important to empower different groups so that spaces can be used effectively by all and as places to bring people together. We seek practices who understand this and who live and breathe diversity & inclusion in their organisation, which in turn will influence how they design and deliver their schemes. This opportunity is open to any qualified architect practice, however given the project's aims and objectives, we are particularly encouraging applications from qualified practices who come with:- - A diverse leadership - Employee model that represents the diversity of London - Lived experience of disadvantaged communities - A background of having overcome adversity or disadvantage either as a result of protected characteristics or another reason - Success in bringing under-privileged and BAME architects/interns through their business (ie. sponsorship and paid work) - A well established and demonstrable equality, diversity & inclusion approach in how they run their business and how they design their schemes - The ability to relate to under-represented and hard-to-reach communities - The ability to reach out to young people in disadvantaged communities, such that young people look up to them as inspirational role models they can relate to.
