FOI - Call-off contracts awarded through A+U Framework [Sep 2026]

I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 regarding the Greater London Authority's Architecture + Urbanism (A+U) Framework, which was launched in 2023.

Specifically, I would be grateful if you could provide a schedule of all call-off contracts awarded through the A+U Framework from its commencement to the present date, including:

• Name of commissioning authority/client
• Project title
• Project location
• Framework lot used
• Appointed consultant/lead supplier
• Contract value and/or fee value

Where disclosure of exact fee values is considered commercially sensitive, I would be grateful if values could be provided in bands.
In addition, please provide:

• Any available pipeline information relating to forthcoming procurements through the framework.

Our response

Request 1: All call-off contracts awarded through A+U Framework
 

Please find attached a schedule (.xlsx format) of all call-off contracts awarded through the A+U Framework from its commencement to the present date.
The A+U Framework Management Team does not hold all the requested information in the precise format specified.
 

The framework management data does not include a dedicated field recording the name of the commissioning authority/client. Instead, it records the type of framework user (for example, GLA Group, TfL or another commissioning body). We have therefore provided the user profile information held in our records.
 

Similarly, project locations are not recorded by place name within the framework management data. The location information held is the project postcode, which has been provided.
 

The remaining information has been provided using the corresponding fields held within the A+U Framework management records under the headings provided (Project Title, Framework Lot, Appointed Consultant, Project/Contract Value, Consultant Fee Value).

Request 2: Forthcoming procurement pipeline
 

The GLA does not hold a consolidated pipeline of forthcoming procurement opportunities through the A+U Framework.
 

Procurement and Commercial services for the GLA Group are provided through a shared service managed by Transport for London (TfL). As part of its management of this service, TfL Procurement and Commercial holds forward pipeline information submitted by GLA Group organisations to support procurement planning and resource allocation.
 

When procurement information is submitted, users are asked to identify potential routes to market, which includes the use of frameworks. As this information asks potential routes, this is not a definitive pipeline for the A+U Framework.
