Young practices have won spots alongside big names on a major London engineering and design framework, Building’s sister title Building Design understands.

Mica Architects, Building Design’s Architect of the Year, has landed a place on the specialist TfL/Greater London Authority framework, as have Hawkins\Brown and Farrells.

Lyndon Goode, Studio Egret West and Fereday Pollard have all bagged spots on more than one lot.

Stirling Prize-winning Wilkinson Eyre, Grimshaw, BDP and Landolt & Brown also make the cut, alongside multi-disciplinary firms like Aecom, Atkins and Arup.

TfL, which has an annual budget of £11.5bn, previously said the framework would be used “to procure engineering consultancy services for TfL, the Greater London Authority, and all 32 London borough councils and the City of London”.

Divided into six lots ranging from highway design to multi-disciplinary rail engineering, and 62 sub-lots including BIM, urban design and commercial architecture, it runs from this month to January 2024.

TfL declined to comment.
