Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process led by The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London involved developing masterplans and planning briefs for a Supplementary Planning Document concerning the Puddle Dock area. This process falls under the 'Building services consultancy services' category and has been completed. The procurement used a 'limited' method indicating a below-threshold, limited competition process and culminated with a contract awarded to Alan Baxter Limited. The procurement stage has passed the award phase, with the contract period running from 28th April 2025 to 27th October 2025. This initiative was based in the City of London, a sub-central government entity within the UK.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in building services consultancy, especially those with a focus on urban planning and development. As this sector continues to burgeon, such a contract provides exposure for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Alan Baxter Limited. It enables them to establish pivotal relationships with public authorities and enhances their portfolio with influential public-sector projects. Companies with expertise in creating detailed urban masterplans and an understanding of local government expectations are well-suited to engage in similar future competitive processes.
