Summary of the contracting process

YMCA London City and North commissioned interior design services for the redevelopment of its supported accommodation scheme at 184 Tottenham Lane, Crouch End, London. The development comprises approximately 174 bedspaces in a co-living model, with shared kitchens and lounges, communal areas, staff facilities and support spaces. The appointed designer was required to develop coordinated proposals to RIBA Stage 3+, work with the architect and wider multidisciplinary team, prepare room data sheets, finishes schedules, FF&E specifications, joinery design, technical details, and a wayfinding and signage strategy. The scope also included contributing to contractor tender information and applying inclusive, sustainable and psychologically informed design principles suited to supported housing. Services were to be delivered through design workshops, project meetings and technical coordination. This is a design services requirement, classified under CPV 79932000, for work in London.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 7 September 2026 to Squire and Partners LLP. It used a single lot and an open procedure. The tender deadline was 17 July 2026 at 17:00, and the award decision period ended on 7 September 2026. The awarded value is £100,000 excluding VAT, or £120,000 including VAT. The awarded contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 15 December 2026. Evaluation was based on quality at 70% and price at 30%; quality covered relevant experience and track record, methodology, team and resourcing, and programme and delivery. Bidders needed a turnover of £200,000, professional indemnity insurance of £1 million and public liability insurance of £5 million. They also needed at least two comparable projects from the previous five years and relevant multidisciplinary RIBA Stage 3+ experience.

This award demonstrates demand from a third-sector supported-housing provider for specialist interior design delivered at a substantial residential scale. A credible competitor for similar work would need a demonstrable record on supported housing, co-living or student accommodation, preferably for public-sector, local-authority or third-sector clients. The requirement points to value in firms that can take a project through RIBA Stage 3+ and produce coordinated, contractor-ready information, including room data sheets, finishes, FF&E, joinery, technical details and signage. Strong multidisciplinary coordination, collaborative workshop and meeting skills, practical value-engineering experience, and the capacity to work to a defined programme would be important. Competitors would also need financial stability, appropriate professional indemnity and public liability cover, and evidence of at least two comparable projects completed within five years.
