Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NCG appointed a design team for the Lea House Construction project at Lewisham College. The requirement is for building consultancy services supporting refurbishment and construction activity, delivered at Lewisham College and remotely. The buying organisation is NCG, an education body governed by public law. The work is therefore relevant to architectural practices, multidisciplinary design teams and building consultancy firms able to support a college construction project through remote and on-site services. The procurement title identifies the requirement as “Lea House Refurbishment – Design Team”. The appointed supplier, Bond Bryan Architects Limited, is based in Sheffield and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The requirement is focused on consultancy and design rather than construction delivery itself.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. NCG used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, making a direct award under the Procure Partnerships Professional Services Framework in accordance with its call-off provisions and award methodology. Evaluation was based on price. Bond Bryan Architects Limited was appointed as supplier, with an active contract signed on 15 July 2026. The contract value is £405,344 excluding any unrecorded tax treatment, in GBP. One bid was recorded for the requirement, and it came from an SME and was submitted electronically. The process was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The award concerns the Lea House refurbishment design team at Lewisham College.

This procurement demonstrates demand from NCG for professional design and building consultancy support on further-education construction and refurbishment projects. A credible future competitor would need to assemble or provide a design team capable of supporting a college construction project, combining architectural and relevant building consultancy expertise with the ability to work both at the college and remotely. The route used is also commercially significant: the buyer relied on the Procure Partnerships Professional Services Framework and made a direct call-off award, rather than running an open competition. Firms seeking similar work with NCG would therefore benefit from framework access, a clear understanding of framework call-off requirements and evidence that they can deliver competitively on price. The appointed SME shows that this scale of professional services can suit smaller practices as well as larger consultancies.
