## Summary

London Stadium 185 commissioned an architect-led design team for the wider development of Stadium Island at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, East London. The services cover architectural and related design work, including developing spatial proposals for a leisure-led, mixed-use destination from an existing feasibility study. The lead consultant and design team are to work with a separately appointed commercial consultant to design, test and resolve the Outline Business Case spatially and support soft market engagement. They are also to work with the London Borough of Newham’s planning authority to shape and agree a joint Spatial Vision for Stadium Island. This is a professional services requirement focused on architecture, masterplanning, spatial development and planning coordination for a major stadium-related regeneration opportunity.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Populous Limited. It used a below-threshold procedure, with the procurement method recorded as unknown, and consisted of one completed lot. The contract was signed on 24 August 2026 and has a gross value of £248,000 including VAT. Its initial term runs from 25 August 2026 to 23 August 2027, with a six-month extension option giving a maximum extent date of 22 January 2028. The contract is active. The award covers architectural and architectural design services. The published outcome identifies Populous Limited as the selected supplier; the available information does not set out separate price or quality weightings for the evaluation.

This outcome demonstrates demand from London Stadium 185 for an architect-led team able to turn feasibility work into spatial proposals for a leisure-led, mixed-use destination. A credible competitor would need strong architectural design and masterplanning capability, experience developing or resolving spatial elements of an Outline Business Case, and the ability to test proposals through soft market engagement. The requirement also favours teams that can coordinate effectively with commercial advisers and public-sector planning authorities, and can help establish a shared spatial vision with the London Borough of Newham. Relevant experience in stadium, destination, regeneration or complex mixed-use development would help demonstrate the judgement and delivery capacity needed for a future requirement of this type.
