Decision details

For the Director of Placemaking & Housing to award the Contract for the ‘Lead Designer and Multidisciplinary Design Team for Your Bruce Grove Public Realm and Holcombe Market Expansion’ for RIBA Stages 2-6 to ‘Project Centre Limited’. The sum of the Contract is £375,068, excluding contingency.

This decision enables appointment of a practice with urban design and landscape design expertise to act as Lead Designer & Multidisciplinary Design Team for the delivery of Your Bruce Grove’s Public Realm and Market Expansion. The project will improve and develop a series of interconnected streets and spaces in Bruce Grove Town Centre, with the aim of ‘thickening’ Tottenham High Road by establishing the back streets as safe, welcoming, and lively spaces where local communities socialise, shop and work and where the Council will deliver its own high-quality homes and workspace. The project will deliver on the Future High Street Fund (FHSF) programme.

Option 1 would be not to appoint a design team, but this is not recommended as this would not support the delivery of public realm improvements in Bruce Grove Town Centre, which forms a fundamental part of the Tottenham High Road Strategy, wider Regeneration Programme and FHSF programme.



Option 2 is to appoint Project Centre following a tender process under the Ealing Framework, representing best value to the Council.
