Appointment to the Mayor of London's Architecture + Urbanism Framework
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has awarded Wright & Wright a place on the Civic, Cultural and Social Infrastructure Group as part of the Greater London Authority's new Architecture + Urbanism Framework.
This year's cohort is one of the most diverse ever, helping to reach EDI targets and ensure equity and inclusivity is at the heart of how work in the culture, education, and social sectors is procured.
London's new Architecture and Urbanism (A+U) Framework provides a diverse, pre-approved panel of built environment consultants, making it quicker and easier for organisations like councils to commission high quality expertise for public sector projects in London.
The A+U Framework can be used by the Greater London Authority Group and other public sector commissioning authorities to appoint high-quality architectural, place making and urban planning design services.
Following successful completion of the procurement process, which saw 578 submissions from 273 suppliers, the final 96 places on the new Framework have now been awarded to 65 suppliers. Wright & Wright is honoured to be appointed to the civic, cultural and social infrastructure group for its long-standing expertise in culture and social sector projects and masterplans.
More than half (57%) of places on the Framework have been awarded to ‘diverse-led’ enterprises, meaning at least half of their executive leadership identifies as female, Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic, disabled and/or members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
All appointees also met the following requirements:
- Responding to the inequalities highlighted by the pandemic and supporting and shaping a sustainable and equitable recovery
- Responding to the climate crisis and designing for net-zero
- Supporting London’s economic recovery
- The creation of social value and developing inclusive design approaches that champion participation, co-production and meaningful community engagement
National Gallery
Modernised interiors and material refinement lend a timeless quality to the galleries of one of London’s most important public museums.
Museum of the Home
An award-winning, ecologically-minded design for a community-centric museum stems from a holistic redefinition of exhibition, storage and community spaces, all with no commensurate increase in energy use.
The British Museum
Wright & Wright have supported the British Museum on a range of projects, addressing both strategic planning and the more immediate issues of fabric repair and management of its Grade I listed buildings in Bloomsbury.
