The winning practices include: 5th Studio; Assemble Design; CarverHaggard; Daab Design Architects; Gibson Thornley; Gort Scott; Jan Kattein Architects; Karakusevic Carson Architects; NOOMA Studio; Patel Taylor Architects; Periscope Landscape & Architecture; Waugh Thistleton Architects; and Wonky Architecture.<\/p>\n

According to LHC, more than 90 per cent of practices appointed to the framework<\/a> are SMEs, with 67 per cent designated small or micro-businesses.<\/p>\n

The teams selected for the four-year framework will have the opportunity to work on a variety of projects ranging from \u2018small sites to complex multi-site projects\u2019 for public sector clients in London.<\/p>\n

The new 2025-29 framework supersedes LHC\u2019s existing ADS1 and ADS1.1 frameworks<\/a>, which were last tendered in partnership with Southwark Council six years ago and delivered around 100 projects.<\/p>\n

Dubbed \u2018ADS2\u2019, the latest framework has been developed in partnership with Southwark, Islington and Westminster councils.<\/p>\n

ADS2 has seven workstreams covering masterplanning, education and public buildings, residential, retrofit, MMC and public realm and landscape.<\/p>\n

One lot has been allocated exclusively to micro-SMEs and small practices. To be eligible, practices had to show evidence of an annual turnover cap of \u00a31 million.<\/p>\n

Graham Collie, director of product innovation at LHC Procurement Group said: \u2018The objectives for ADS2 focused on bringing new opportunities forward for practices with a track record of collaboration, innovation and community engagement.<\/p>\n

\u2018That included improving access to public sector work for micro-SMEs, as well as more established firms. It\u2019s a great example of how procurement can be used as a lever to create opportunities for businesses that might not otherwise get public sector work.\u2019<\/p>\n

LHC is a specialist body which compiles public frameworks, manages around 500 live projects at any one time and is run by a joint committee of local authorities.<\/p>\n

Office S&M, jmarchitects, Stride Treglown, Weston Williamson, Oberlanders Architects and Ryder Architecture were among 22 practices chosen for LHC\u2019s UK-wide public sector housing framework<\/a> in 2023.<\/p>\n

Bids for inclusion on the latest framework were evaluated 80 per cent on quality and 20 per cent on cost. The framework will run until 2029.<\/p>\n
