Summary of the contracting process

Tower Hamlets commissioned a Mosque Engagement Service to deliver its Mosque Engagement Programme across the borough of Tower Hamlets, London. The service strengthens relationships with mosques of all sizes and capacities, supports stronger leadership and governance, and helps mosques address inequalities and non-religious needs. Its wider purpose is to improve outcomes for the Muslim community, strengthen community cohesion, and support the contribution of mosques to civil society through partnership and collaboration. This is a community and social service, with CPV classifications for other community, social and personal services (98000000) and recreational, cultural and sporting services (92000000). The buyer is Tower Hamlets, the London Borough council.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a single-lot open procedure. Council of Mosques - Tower Hamlets was selected on 26 February 2026. The award and contract value is £229,080 excluding VAT, or £274,896 including VAT. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029. Evaluation weighted price at 30%, with quality and social value together accounting for 70%: quality 60% and social value 10%. Four bids were received, with two reaching the final stage; both final-stage bids were from SMEs. Suppliers had to demonstrate legal, financial and technical capacity, with detailed conditions set out in the Invitation to Tender. The procurement is marked as recurrent.

This award shows demand from Tower Hamlets for a specialist community engagement provider with established, trusted and long-standing relationships with mosques across the borough. A credible competitor would need to understand local Muslim communities, community dynamics and sensitivities, and work effectively with mosques of different sizes and capacities. Relevant capability includes supporting leadership and governance, addressing inequalities and non-religious needs, strengthening community cohesion, and building partnerships between faith organisations, the council and wider civil society. The requirement was suitable for SMEs and attracted two SME bids at the final stage, indicating that a smaller organisation can compete where it can demonstrate the necessary credibility, legal and financial standing, technical ability, and capacity to deliver a borough-wide engagement programme.
