Summary of the contracting process

The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London are planning a significant procurement for the Tactical Firearms Training Facility (TFTF) Main Works, projected to commence in November 2026. This construction project involves the procurement of a principal contractor for the main works of a 66,060sqft site, including the development of multiple facilities such as a Firing Range, Classrooms, and Skills House. The procurement strategy follows a two-stage Design & Build (D&B) approach, with stage 1 tenders expected in July 2026 and stage 2 appointments in August 2027. This falls under the public authority and sub-central government category, with the location of work designated in the United Kingdom. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with a future notice date set for July 2026.

This opportunity presents a significant potential for business growth, especially for firms involved in large-scale construction works, particularly those related to law and order or emergency services infrastructure. The estimated contract value, amounting to a gross of £19.8 million, signals a substantial undertaking ideal for companies with the capacity to manage and execute large infrastructure projects. The project's scope and requirements suggest that businesses specialising in modular builds, secure storage solutions, and comprehensive facility construction would be well-suited to compete. Notably, the tender is marked with suitability for SMEs, encouraging smaller enterprises with relevant expertise to engage and expand their portfolio through participation in this competitive bidding process.
