You presume a lot. I'd pressume the BBC would pay for the overall look and then implement it themselves in the regions. If they went back to the design agency for each regional refurb then they'd probably all look exactly the same.
I think you are also presuming a bit.
As the BBC don't have any in-house scenic design or construction services (at least in England), and each regional studio is physically different (and some shows have different editorial requirements) each studio will need to be designed and fabricated in a bespoke manner. It is likely that the original set design team would be involved in any new designs, though this may well be just in terms of directing a third party set construction company, or it may be a full design.
Sets don't design and build themselves (nor do designers risk assessments, and CDM in some cases, get completed on their own), and the BBC don't have in-house departments to do this, so it would be natural to go back to Jago rather than using a separate, different set designer.

If you look at some of their recent BBC work, you'll notice that, while Studios B and C are fantastic designs, Studio E (particularly the right hand side of the set) is just a mess and Studio D could of taken all of half an hour to design and leaves plenty of left over space in the studio. Furthermore their designs for Cardiff and Glasgow, which I imagine were paid for separately, are almost identical bar the area that joins the two halves of the set together - where Glasgow has a touch screen and Cardiff a mess. And let's not get started on their N6 style rebrands of the regions - which is an identical design rehashed everywhere for which they were presumably paid individually.
