UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham recently announced the cancellation of the tender for the "Wormwood Scrubs Masterplan Biodiversity & Improvement Works" project as of 6th August 2025. The procurement process aimed to implement proposals for enhancing biodiversity and improving drainage in Wormwood Scrubs, an expansive public space located in London. The project, categorised under the construction and grounds maintenance sector, was initially planned in two phases—capital works and a decade-long maintenance plan—which outlined significant ecological improvements. Earlier, the tender had progressed through the planning stage and tender updates, with critical dates marking engagement deadlines and tender periods up to 29th July 2025, followed by completion by 30th October 2025. Unfortunately, no contract will be awarded, and the status has been updated to complete with cancellation accordingly.

This project presented numerous opportunities for businesses specialising in landscaping, ecological conservation, and construction. Companies influenced by the cancellation may seek new prospects in similar market engagements. The contracting process was structured to encourage participation from firms meeting specific financial and technical criteria. Businesses able to offer innovative ecological enhancements or comprehensive management services were particularly suitable candidates for large-scale, public improvement works. While the present cancellation may postpone immediate participation, keen organisations should remain engaged in potential future iterations or alternative projects within the borough, providing long-term environmental and infrastructural benefits to large public spaces like Wormwood Scrubs.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Wormwood Scrubs Masterplan Biodiversity & Improvement Works

Notice Description

London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham Council (the "Council") is seeking a supplier who is suitably qualified and experienced in landscaping and the creation and management of ecologically sensitive habitats. Wormwood Scrubs is an open space located at the northern end of the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. It is the largest open space in the Borough, at around 80 ha (200 acres), and is one of the largest areas of common land in London. The work is to implement the proposals in the AEM (Alternative Ecological Mitigation) Masterplan for Wormwood Scrubs open space. The overall objective of the AEM Masterplan is to improve and enhance biodiversity on the Scrubs and at the same time improve drainage across the site to better manage surface water and improve access. The work is split into two phases: Capital works - this phase of work should be completed in 6-8 months and will include the creation of a SUDs (Sustainable Urban Drainage scheme) made up of a series of scrapes and swales to the south of the site and the northwest corner of the site. Retention ponds will be created in the existing wet woodlands in the southeast of the site. Tree planting will take place at various locations and existing vegetation will be improved along with the creation of meadows and grasslands. Hibernacula's will be created and bird and bat boxes installed. Maintenance and Management Plan (MMP) - Phase 2 of the work will be a 10 year Management and Maintenance Plan (MMP) which will include the management of the features implemented as part of the Phase 1 Capital Works including the SUDs scheme and meadows and will also involve the management of the existing woodland, scrubland and meadows that have not previously been regularly managed and are in need of ongoing management to improve conditions for wildlife and increase biodiversity. For example, selective thinning in woodland areas will allow more light in to allow a greater variety of woodland plants to grow in the understorey.

Lot 1

Renewal: The contract for Phase 2 (MMP) includes one (1) optional extension of up to five (5) years and the extension may be exercised based on satisfactory performance during the initial term of the contract.
