UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Croydon commissioned services for the Surrey Street Project 2.0, also called OURSPACE. The project concerns the cultural reactivation of vacant units, with the procurement classified as architectural and related services. Work is associated with Surrey Street in Croydon. The requirement is for a supplier to support the council in bringing vacant units into cultural use, combining architectural expertise with services relevant to the adaptation or activation of those spaces. The buying organisation is the London Borough of Croydon, a sub-central public authority. The opportunity is therefore relevant to architectural practices, built-environment consultancies and related service providers with experience of vacant premises and cultural or community-focused regeneration in Croydon or comparable urban settings.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a below-threshold limited competition, with one lot and five bids reaching the final stage. Public Works Limited was selected on 28 July 2026. The award is worth £35,990 excluding VAT and £43,188 including VAT. The contract period runs from 26 August 2026 to 2 April 2027, with a possible six-month extension taking the maximum end date to 2 October 2027. The award includes a renewal option for that six-month extension. The contract was evaluated through the limited competition process; the published information does not set out separate quality or price weightings. A signature milestone was scheduled for 26 August 2026.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Croydon for architectural and related services supporting the cultural reactivation of vacant units on Surrey Street. A competing supplier would need practical architectural capability suited to vacant premises, together with an understanding of how physical spaces can support cultural use and local regeneration. Experience of working with a local authority and coordinating requirements around occupied or changing urban environments would strengthen credibility. The procurement attracted five final-stage bids, including five from SMEs, showing that the scale and route were accessible to smaller practices and consultancies. Public Works Limited, an SME, was selected, indicating that a specialist SME can compete successfully for this type of council-led cultural built-environment commission.
