Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Tower Hamlets commissioned business and management consultancy services to produce a route map for regeneration in South Poplar. The work is to identify how delivery should be organised and governed so the Council can oversee comprehensive regeneration, building on the area’s 2021 Masterplan. Delivery is in South Poplar, London. This is a strategic planning and governance assignment rather than construction work: its focus is setting out a route for coordinating and overseeing regeneration.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Ove Arup & Partners Limited through a direct award. The award date was 21 September 2026. The awarded value is £249,254. The contract runs from 25 September 2026 to 19 March 2027. The tender deadline was 3 August 2026. The published procurement information gives the requirement and scope but does not set out evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements. The appointment is for one consultant to deliver the South Poplar route map for Tower Hamlets.

This award shows Tower Hamlets’ demand for consultancy that can translate a regeneration masterplan into a practical delivery and governance route. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to demonstrate strategic regeneration planning, an ability to build on existing masterplanning, and the capacity to identify workable delivery arrangements and governance that allow a council to oversee comprehensive area change. The scale is a focused, time-limited consultancy assignment for a single area, rather than a major works contract. The selected supplier was a large consultancy, although the procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs; smaller firms with relevant regeneration and public-sector advisory experience may therefore be well placed to compete, either independently or as part of a team.
