Bailey Partnership Appointed to LHC’s £75m Architectural Design Services Framework

Multi-disciplinary teams selected across three core lots to deliver education, decarbonisation, and modern methods of construction (MMC) services for public sector clients

Bailey Partnership has successfully secured a place on the LHC Procurement Group’s new £75 million Architectural Design Services (ADS2) framework.

Developed in partnership with Southwark, Islington, and Westminster councils, the four-year framework will run until 2030. The procurement vehicle is designed to connect public sector clients with capable design teams, accelerating the delivery of everything from local community spaces to complex, multi-site urban regeneration developments.

With the competitive tendering process heavily weighted towards technical performance – evaluated 80% on quality and 20% on cost – our appointment serves as an independent validation of our practice’s design excellence, technical capabilities, and rigorous cost management.

Bailey Partnership has secured positions on three major framework lots, allowing our multi-disciplinary studios to deploy specialised services across London:

• Education & Public Buildings: Designing inspiring, functional spaces optimized for learning and civic life.

• Retrofit & Decarbonisation Design Services: Transforming aging building stock through fabric-first energy efficiency measures and low-carbon design.

• MMC Architecture Services: Integrating Modern Methods of Construction to drive off-site innovation, carbon reduction, and programmatic efficiency.

As public sector bodies face tightening budgets alongside aggressive net-zero deadlines, integrated frameworks like ADS2 are critical to streamlining procurement. Our appointment across these diverse workstreams allows our architecture, engineering, and surveying teams to work in absolute sync – stripping out multi-consultant friction and maximizing public asset value.

Congratulations to our fellow appointed practices, and we look forward to working alongside LHC and its partnering local authorities to shape a sustainable public landscape over the next four years.
