Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Lewisham procured specialist consultancy support for its Brockley PFI project. The requirement covers advice on certain aspects of the PFI Project Agreement and assistance with consultancy work outlined under the project agreement with Regenter-B3. This is a professional services requirement focused on interpreting, managing and supporting obligations under an existing public-private finance agreement. The buyer is the London Borough of Lewisham, based in Catford, London. The work concerns the council’s Brockley PFI project and its related project agreement. Suppliers with relevant public-sector PFI, project agreement and advisory experience would be the closest fit for this type of requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. One completed lot was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Ward Hadaway LLP was awarded the contract on 26 June 2026. The awarded value is £41,666 excluding VAT, or £50,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 28 August 2026 to 26 March 2027. The award is active, and the contract was due to be signed on 28 August 2026. The evaluation route was a non-competitive direct award rather than an open tender, so the outcome reflects the buyer’s selection of a specialist provider for this defined consultancy requirement.

This award indicates demand from Lewisham for specialist advisers able to support an existing PFI project agreement and provide consultancy linked to its contractual obligations. A credible future competitor would need practical experience of PFI and public-private partnership agreements, including the ability to interpret complex contract provisions and advise a local authority on their application. It would also need to provide reliable consultancy support on matters arising under the agreement, rather than only general legal advice. Ward Hadaway LLP is a large professional-services supplier, showing that the requirement was fulfilled by an established organisation with the capacity to provide specialist advisory input. Firms with comparable PFI, local-government and project-agreement expertise would be best placed to compete if this requirement returns.
