Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by the London Borough of Waltham Forest, now at the award stage, focused on the "Technical Design and Fabrication of Two Gateway Portal Signs for Walthamstow Market." This project falls under the construction and engineering services industry category, aiming to enhance the visual identity of Walthamstow Market. Located in London, the contract with an initial term ending on 19 December 2025, with a possible extension until 19 March 2026, was signed on 2 September 2025. The procurement method was limited, under a below-threshold limited competition, signaling a more selective tendering process for this initiative.

This tender opens up significant business growth opportunities, particularly for local creative consultancies and companies specializing in design-led fabrication. The project aims to create prominent cultural landmarks, benefiting businesses involved in creative construction and fabrication, who could leverage their expertise in delivering bespoke and impactful public works. Companies like Building Bloqs at Meridian Works Limited, already identified as the supplier, highlight the suitability of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that are adept at delivering nuanced and distinctive design services to tap into similar future opportunities within public realm enhancement projects.

Notice Title

Technical Design and Fabrication of Two Gateway Portal Signs for Walthamstow Market

Notice Description

As part of the wider improvement programme, Waltham Forest Council is seeking to commission a suitably qualified local creative consultancy, artist and/or design-led fabricator to complete delivery of detailed technical design and fabrication of two gateway portal signs to frame and welcome visitors to Walthamstow Market. These permanent structures will mark the two pedestrian entrances to the High Street - one near St James Street and the other near the Town Square - and will serve as visual landmarks celebrating the identity and cultural significance of the market. This commission is independent from the main public realm contractor package but forms an integral part of the overall vision to animate and define Walthamstow High Street as a welcoming, distinctive, and inclusive civic space.
