Summary of the contracting process

London Borough of Lewisham appointed a strategic partner to support the delivery and development of existing and future sites across Lewisham. The requirement covers major construction and development activity, including ground investigation, site-development works, architectural, engineering and inspection services, and broader construction consultancy. The partner is expected to bring the skills, expertise and track record needed to deliver the Council’s objectives and vision, including residential accommodation, commercial units and public realm. Future sites are included in the agreement, although they were not identified when the procurement was run. This is a works-led strategic partnership managed by Lewisham Council, with supporting procurement and commercial advice provided by external advisers.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Hill Partnerships Limited. It used an open competitive flexible procedure with staged qualification, initial tenders, dialogue and final tenders. Three bids were received and one reached the final stage. The award was dated 1 July 2026, the contract was signed on 26 August 2026 and the contract runs from 26 August 2026 to 25 August 2036, with an option to extend to 25 August 2041. Its value is £1.85bn excluding VAT and £2.22bn including VAT. Quality and price were weighted equally at 50% each. The arrangement includes additional purchases and future sites, subject to the contractual procedures and Mayor and Cabinet approval.

This procurement shows that Lewisham is seeking a substantial, long-term development partner rather than a single standalone works contractor. A credible competitor would need a strong record in strategic partnership delivery, construction and site development, supported by architectural, engineering, inspection and ground-investigation capability. The requirement favours organisations able to coordinate multiple sites, manage future development opportunities and work collaboratively with a local authority and its advisers. Experience delivering residential accommodation, commercial units, public realm and affordable housing would be particularly relevant. Suppliers should also be able to evidence measurable social value through employment opportunities, work experience, apprenticeships, community engagement and local spend, alongside effective partnership governance and performance reporting.
