Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Bromley procured an architect-led, multi-disciplinary consultancy team to support the Poverest Housing Development in Bromley. The services cover the project from RIBA stages 0 to 7, including strategic and architectural design, technical design and delivery support. The team is to provide the lead architect, principal designers for CDM and building regulations, landscape architecture, mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineering, civil and structural engineering, planning consultancy, transport consultancy, ecology services including surveys where required, and acoustic consultancy including surveys where required. This is a professional services requirement for architectural, construction, engineering and inspection work, with the appointed team coordinating the disciplines needed to progress the housing scheme through design, approvals, construction and completion.

This procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure. One lot was awarded to Pollard Thomas Edwards LLP on 15 July 2025, and the contract was signed on 4 August 2025. The contract runs from 4 August 2025 to 31 March 2028 and is valued at £1,080,915 excluding VAT, or £1,297,098 including VAT. The original estimated lot value was £1,800,000 excluding VAT, or £2,160,000 including VAT. Tenders closed on 19 May 2025, enquiries closed on 12 May 2025 and the award period ended on 2 June 2025. Evaluation gave 40% to quality and 60% to price. Quality covered skills and experience, design coordination, staffing, planning consultancy, value engineering and social value. Nineteen bids were received, with 18 reaching the final stage; all 18 final-stage bids were from SMEs.

This award shows that Bromley is buying an integrated consultancy team capable of taking a housing development through every RIBA stage, rather than isolated advice from a single discipline. Credible competitors would need strong architectural leadership and effective coordination across design, technical delivery, planning, landscape, building-regulation and CDM compliance, transport, ecology, acoustics, civil engineering and structural engineering. The evaluation emphasised demonstrable skills and experience, design coordination, staffing, planning capability and value engineering, alongside social value and competitive pricing. Firms should therefore be able to assemble and manage a suitably broad professional team, demonstrate capacity across the full project lifecycle, provide required surveys, and show how they control design quality, cost and delivery risk on housing schemes.
