Scope
Description
Bromley South, and specifically Elmfield Road, has been identified as a key employment site within the borough with opportunity for development and inward investment. This is supported by the Employment Land and Space Study, completed in 2024, and the Council's Growth Plan (2024-27). Elmfield Road is a 6.58-hectare site adjacent to Bromley South Station, predominantly occupied by office tenants, The Mall Shopping Centre, and an associated NCP car park. Elmfield Road offers a unique regeneration and investment proposition due to its commercial focus and its proximity to Bromley South Station and connectivity to London Victoria.
Following the approval of the Council's Growth Plan and publication of the Employment Land and Space Study, an Elmfield Road Steering Group was established. This group brought together property owners, businesses, Network Rail, GLA, central government partners (DBT & Office for Investment), Your Bromley BID, and representatives from the Council's Planning, Highways and Estates Team. This group endorsed the development of a visioning and place proposition exercise for Elmfield Road and the surrounding area. To support this, the Council commissioned a multi-disciplinary team to produce high-level design concepts exploring the urban realm, connectivity, and wider opportunities. The resulting proposals were presented and reviewed at the Elmfield Road Steering Group in October 2024.
While the high-level visioning exercise laid a strong foundation for shaping the Elmfield Road project, it was agreed that further work is needed to realise a comprehensive public realm improvement as part of the broader long term regeneration of Bromley South. To deliver this project, the Council will be looking to appoint a multi-disciplinary design team, with Lead Consultant, to progress the design through to RIBA Stage 4, developing the scheme to detailed design as part of a package to be tendered for a works contract. Following the works contractor appointment, the Lead Consultant's role will transition to monitoring and advisory support, providing technical oversight, design compliance checks, and client-side assurance during the contractor's completion of the works (RIBA Stages 5 - 7).
The Lead Consultant will be required to assemble and managed a multi-disciplinary team to support the Council in delivering the Elmfield Road public realm improvements. The commission will cover RIBA Stages 1-7
Phase 1 - Pre-works (RIBA Stages 1 - 4): The Lead Consultant will act as design lead, developing the scheme from Preparation and Briefing through to Technical Design. This will include preparation of an Employer's Requirements (ER) package.
Phase 2 - Following appointment of works contractor (RIBA Stages 5 - 7): Once the contractor has been appointed, the Lead Design Consultant's role will evolve to that of monitoring and advisory support, acting as client-side technical advisor. This will include contract administration, compliance monitoring, quality review, stakeholder liaison, and post-occupancy evaluation.
