Summary of the contracting process

The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London, in collaboration with the City of London Police, have completed the tender process for the appointment of Structural and Civil Engineer services for the Tactical Firearms Training Facility at Dagenham Dock. This open procedure procurement process, governed by the Procurement Act, emphasised expertise in construction consultancy services under CPV classification 71530000. The contract was awarded to WML Consulting Limited, with the award notice published on 23 October 2025, and a contract starting on 10 November 2025 running until 30 June 2026. The buying organisation's approach aimed to combine traditional and modular design solutions, advancing the project through RIBA stages 1 to 3, ensuring the efficient and effective operational outcome desired at this development phase.

This tender represents substantial business opportunity, especially for SMEs possessing strong capabilities in structural and civil engineering, as well as experience with both traditional and modular design approaches. Businesses operating in the construction consultancy sector can particularly benefit from such engagements, given the emphasis on quality technical proposals and responsible procurement practices like climate action and social value. Firms that have personnel cleared with NPPV Level 3 and Security Clearance (SC) issued by a UK police authority were positioned as strong candidates for the requirements of this sensitive project. With a gross contract value exceeding £260,000, this procurement process reflects the lucrative potential for qualified engineering firms within the public sector realm.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Structural and Civil Engineer Appointment for CoLP Tactical Firearms Training Facility (Version 2)

Notice Description

The CoLC, in collaboration with CoLC of London Police (CoLP) are undertaking a project to build a Tactical Firearm Training Facility (TFTF). A suitable site owned by CoLC at Dagenham Dock has been identified. A feasibility study was undertaken to determine the viability of the site, to evaluate cost and programme differences as well as assessing the pros and cons of either a full traditional build approach or full modular scheme to provide the new TFTF. In conclusion , it was determined that a combination of both traditional and modular design solutions is to be considered as the favoured approach to provide the most efficient and operationally effective solution. The design scheme produced during the feasibility study is to progress from RIBA stages 1 to 3, however elements of this design are incomplete and there is a requirement for the appointed design team to review the existing information/design and provide appropriate advice/expertise as to what extent the current packages are progressed further to provide a complete RIBA stage 1 and review then progress RIBA stage 2 and 3 design before commencing the RIBA stage 4. This appointment is for Structural and Civil Engineer services. Please see full scope of services within tender documents.
