## Summary

The London Borough of Hackney has completed the procurement process for the "Colville Estate Phase 2C Design Guardian Services," focusing on architectural and construction consultancy. This process falls under the services category, specifically architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services. Based in Hackney, London (region UKI41), the contract began on 1 April 2026 and will end on 31 March 2027, with a gross contract value of £96,000. The procurement method was classified as "Below threshold - unknown," and the tender was governed by UK legal framework 2023/54. The award stage was completed on 14 April 2026, having been initiated through a tender process involving Karakusevic Carson Architects Limited as the supplier.

This contract provides a significant opportunity for architecture and construction firms specialising in project advisory roles to expand their portfolios and strengthen their market presence in the London area. Medium-sized enterprises with expertise in architectural design, technical consultancy, and quality management in construction would find this contract suitable. The procurement process presents growth potential for businesses that can provide innovative design solutions and ensure construction quality, as the Design Guardian is responsible for advising on alternative design solutions, architectural aspects of technical designs, and construction quality. The strategic involvement in a prestigious project at Hackney offers a valuable reference for further industry involvement.

## Notice

The Design Guardian will be responsible for advising on the suitability of: (1) alternative design solutions proposed by the contractor, (2) the architectural aspects of the contractor's detailed technical design for construction, (3) the architectural aspects of the sub-contractors' proposals, (4) mock-up panels and material samples, and (5) construction quality on site. Due to a longer PCSA period the current appointment expires while the project is still on site, therefore this new appointment is to cover the remainder of the construction stages of the project until completion.
