## Summary

The London North Eastern Railway (LNER) has completed the award phase for the framework agreement involving architect services for its projects across eleven UK stations. This procurement, identified by "RFQ000027", commenced under an open procedure and is valued at £1.2 million. It involves architectural design services, facilitated through a framework allowing up to three suppliers to rotate project implementations. Engaging in diverse services such as wayfinding, spatial planning, and major refurbishments, this contract will run from 27th October 2025 to 26th October 2027, with a possible extension to 2028. The procurement process was structured to include direct awards for projects up to £100,000, with higher-value projects subjected to mini-competition. The standstill period concludes on 1st October 2025, and the contract signing is scheduled for 20th October 2025.

This tender offers substantial business opportunities for firms experienced in architectural services within the transport infrastructure sector. The potential for involvement in varied station projects across multiple UK regions such as the North-East, North-West, Yorkshire and The Humber, and others, presents significant visibility and growth prospects. The contractual framework particularly suits small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to expand their portfolios in public-sector projects, with flexibility for larger firms like AHR Building Consultancy Limited and Ryder Architecture Limited, which are among the awarded suppliers, to leverage larger-scale capabilities in executing comprehensive refurbishments and related architectural tasks for LNER. The rotational operation method ensures fair distribution of opportunities among appointed firms, fostering a competitive yet inclusive business environment.
