Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Hackney procured architectural and related services for projects at Hackney Service Centre in Hackney, England. The appointed architect is responsible for leading an integrated multidisciplinary team across RIBA Stages 2 to 7. The team includes architects, a lead designer, principal designer, structural engineer, mechanical, electrical and public health engineer, and cost consultant. The requirement covers various related works and projects within the service centre rather than a single defined construction package. This is a professional services opportunity for an architectural practice or multidisciplinary design organisation able to take a project from developed design through construction, completion and use. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award procedure. The tender deadline was 13 August 2026 at 10:00. The estimated procurement value was £600,000. The contract was awarded to Hamilton Architects on 2 September 2026 for £580,479.21. The awarded contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 2 September 2028. The award covers the full architectural and multidisciplinary design requirement for Hackney Service Centre projects. The published outcome identifies one selected supplier. The procurement information does not set out a scored evaluation split; the stated route was a direct award rather than an open competition. The award is active, while the associated tender is complete.

For future work of this type, a credible competitor would need an architectural team capable of leading an integrated design consortium from RIBA Stage 2 through Stage 7. Relevant capability spans architectural design, lead design coordination, principal designer duties, structural engineering, mechanical, electrical and public health engineering, and cost consultancy. The requirement indicates that Hackney values a single lead organisation able to coordinate these disciplines across related projects within an operational service centre. Experience managing design development, technical delivery, construction-stage services, completion and post-completion obligations would therefore be important. Practices should be able to demonstrate dependable multidisciplinary coordination, sufficient staff capacity for several connected projects and the governance needed to lead consultants and manage design risk. The award to an SME shows that this scale can suit an appropriately resourced smaller practice or consortium.
