Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Enfield commissioned an initial design instruction for Joyce & Snell’s Florence Hayes project. The work is to produce a RIBA Stage 1 design report, providing an early design and development assessment for the project. It is a professional service rather than a construction or supply contract, with the procurement classified under business and management consultancy and related services. The commissioning organisation is the London Borough of Enfield, and the appointed supplier is HTA Design LLP, a London-based design practice. The requirement is therefore relevant to architectural, design consultancy and built-environment firms with experience preparing RIBA Stage 1 reports and advising public-sector clients on early project development.

The procurement has been completed and awarded to HTA Design LLP. The council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 30 June 2026, began on 1 July 2026 and runs to 1 September 2026. Its value is £25,000 excluding VAT and £30,000 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. Evaluation was not competitive because the procurement method was direct award without competition. The requirement formed one completed lot covering the full instruction: preparation of the Joyce & Snell’s Florence Hayes RIBA Stage 1 report. The selected supplier is HTA Design LLP, based in London.

For a supplier that did not win this commission, the award is useful evidence of Enfield’s demand for early-stage design consultancy on named development projects. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate the ability to undertake RIBA Stage 1 design reporting, translate an initial instruction into a clear professional report, and provide advice suitable for a local-authority client. Architectural practices and built-environment consultancies with this specific service capability are the closest fit. Experience handling concise, defined commissions and working directly with public-sector commissioning teams would strengthen their position. The direct, below-threshold route also shows that smaller individual requirements may be placed without a competitive tender, making relevant relationships and visibility with the council commercially important.
