Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Bromley commissioned multidisciplinary consultancy services for the Wharton Road Children’s Housing Development. The work covers full multidisciplinary services through RIBA stages 2 to 4a, followed by technical advisory services through stages 4b to 6 once a main works contractor is appointed. The consultant must coordinate fully with the Council’s separately appointed Project Manager, Employer’s Agent and Quantity Surveyor. This is an architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services requirement, delivered in the Bromley area of London. It concerns the development of children’s housing and is therefore relevant to multidisciplinary built-environment consultancies with experience across design development, technical delivery and construction-stage support.

The procurement is complete and was awarded by direct award after a closed tender did not receive the minimum number of bids; approval was obtained to proceed with evaluation. There was one completed lot, suitable for SMEs. The award was made to CONRAD KOSLOWSKY ARCHITECTS LTD on 29 October 2025, with the contract signed on 11 November 2025. The active contract runs from 11 November 2025 to 30 January 2027. Its value is £179,412 excluding VAT, or £215,294.40 including VAT. The recorded award was above the relevant threshold. The contract includes project, design-team, contractor design and stakeholder workshops, with performance tracked through meetings, project-progress reviews and monthly project-spend reviews.

For a supplier seeking comparable public-sector work, this award demonstrates demand for a single multidisciplinary consultant able to support a children’s housing scheme from RIBA stage 2 through construction-stage advisory services at stages 4b to 6. A credible competitor would need coordinated architectural, construction and engineering capability, alongside practical experience of children’s homes or small specialist accommodation schemes. It would also need to work effectively with a Project Manager, Employer’s Agent, Quantity Surveyor and future main works contractor, and contribute to design workshops, stakeholder engagement, progress reviews and spend monitoring. The requirement suits an SME consultancy able to provide an integrated team and maintain delivery continuity from early design through technical and construction support.

Notice Title

Provision of Multidisciplinary Consultancy Services for Wharton Road Children's Housing Development

Notice Description

The scope of this service requirement is to undertake the following: * Full Multi-Disciplinary services for RIBA 2-4a. * Technical Advisory Services for RIBA 4b-6 once a Main Works contractor is appointed. * Full co-ordination with the Project Manager, Employer's Agent and Quantity Surveyor to be appointed directly by Council under a separate contract.

Procurement Information

Despite the project team doing market research and engagement and selecting consultancies for the closed tender based on relevant experience of delivering children's homes and/or small specialist accommodation schemes, the minimum number of bids back for a closed tender was not received. The project team thus sought approval to proceed with the evaluation from the Assistant Director Governance and Contracts.
