Notice Title
Women's Only Gym Development at Poplar Baths Leisure Centre (London Borough of Tower Hamlets)
Notice Description
The London Borough of Tower Hamlets is inviting suitably qualified and experienced construction contractors to tender for the constructions works at Poplar Baths Leisure Centre, located at 170 East India Dock Road, London, E14 0ED. The appointed contractor will be responsible for delivering a high-quality construction of specific leisure facilities in accordance with current building regulations, health and safety standards, and the council's objectives for accessible, inclusive, and modern public amenities. Poplar Baths Leisure Centre is one of six leisure facilities recently returned to direct management by the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. As part of the Council's commitment to inclusive and responsive service delivery, an internal review of user feedback and community engagement has highlighted the need for a dedicated women-only gym space within the centre. This initiative aims to improve accessibility, comfort, and participation among women, in particular those who may face cultural or personal barriers to using mixed-gender facilities. The successful contractor will be expected to demonstrate a track record of delivering high-quality construction projects in occupied public buildings, and an understanding of working in leisure or community-based settings. Contractors must also comply with all relevant legislation, including health and safety requirements (e.g. CDM Regulations 2015), environmental considerations, and safeguarding protocols. The appointed contractor will be required to work collaboratively with leisure centre management and operational staff to ensure the continued delivery of key services. Coordination of works must be planned to minimise disruption to centre users and maintain safe access to operational areas throughout the construction period.
