UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Islington Council is preparing to appoint a healthcare-led multidisciplinary design team for the Sotheby Mews GP Surgery project in London. The team will provide architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services across RIBA Stages 1 to 6. The planned project involves demolishing the former Sotheby Mews day centre and designing and delivering a new primary care facility for occupation by a local GP surgery. The procurement is for professional services rather than construction works alone, and will require a healthcare specialist to lead the design team. The work will support the development of a local primary care facility in Islington, with the council as the public-sector client and project sponsor.

This procurement is at the planning stage and is currently a preliminary market engagement exercise, not an invitation to tender. Islington Council is seeking feedback on market capacity, suppliers’ healthcare design experience and the proposed procurement route before finalising its tender approach. The council expects the engagement questionnaire to close on 28 September 2026 and has indicated 26 October 2026 as the expected date for a future notice. The anticipated procurement value is £937,000 including gross value, in GBP. The planned contract period is 4 January 2027 to 30 July 2029. One planned lot is identified, with the procedure and final tender arrangements to be settled after engagement.

The engagement will suit architectural, engineering and construction consultancy practices able to form or lead a multidisciplinary design team for a healthcare project. Strong preparation would include demonstrable experience designing primary care or other healthcare facilities, understanding the operational needs of GP surgeries, and the ability to coordinate work through all RIBA Stages 1 to 6. A healthcare-specialist lead is central to the council’s stated approach, so firms with relevant completed projects, suitably qualified staff and established design-management capacity are likely to be well placed. The planned lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, which may support specialist practices or collaborative teams. Businesses can use the engagement to explain their capacity, relevant experience and views on the proposed procurement route before the future tender is finalised.
