Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by "The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London," focuses on the project titled "CoLP Mounted Section - Cost Consultant" in the construction consultancy services industry category. The project is based in the City of London at 52 Aldgate High Street, and its aim is to relocate and develop the facilities for the City of London Police Mounted Unit. As of 12 June 2026, the project has completed the award stage with EDGEPS Limited appointed as the supplier. The contract, worth approximately £93,544.20 gross, covers a period from 1 July 2026 to 10 January 2029. This open procedure procurement is in compliance with the 2023 Procurement Act and did not involve preliminary market engagement due to the defined nature of the requirement.

This tender presents notable opportunities for construction consultancy firms, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs) familiar with public sector projects. The development of a strategic policing unit base offers attractive potential benefits, including commercial accommodation above the stables, enabling income generation. Firms with expertise in construction planning and urban logistics can significantly benefit, alongside those with relevant experience in public sector engagements, as the project requires the integration of operational and logistical efficiencies in central London. The appointment of EDGEPS Limited, an SME, underscores the favourable conditions for similar-sized companies to participate in future tenders of this nature, improving their market positioning and growth potential.

Notice Title

CoLP Mounted Section - Cost Consultant

Notice Description

52 Aldgate High Street has been identified as a key site for the relocation and development of the Mounted Unit's facilities. The plan involves combining the vacant plot at 52 Aldgate with the neighbouring properties at 50-51 Aldgate High Street to create a unified and functional space. Located in the City of London, this development aims to provide a practical and well-integrated solution to support the Mounted Unit's operational needs. The project is currently in the initial feasibility and site assessment phase. 52 Aldgate presents a highly suitable location for the Mounted Unit due to a combination of operational, logistical, and strategic advantages. Its central position ensures immediate access to the Square Mile, enabling rapid deployment of officers for ceremonial duties, crowd management, and high-visibility policing. The site benefits from rear access, providing a discreet and practical entry point for day-to-day operations, including the secure movement of horses and equipment. Crucially, there is sufficient space at the rear of the site to accommodate the parking and manoeuvring of the Mounted Unit's horse box, a key operational requirement. In addition, the site offers enough capacity to consolidate all horse welfare and stabling needs under one roof, improving efficiency and care standards. There is also the potential to build commercial accommodation above the proposed stables; this is subject to feasibility and viability testing but raises the possibility of raising income, subject to market response. Together, these factors make 52 Aldgate a rare and strategically valuable opportunity to establish a long-term, purpose-built base for the City of London Police Mounted Unit. At present, significant effort is focused on engaging with Transport for London (TfL), the key stakeholder and landowner, to thoroughly understand the current condition, boundaries, and legal status of the site. This includes a detailed investigation into the complex network of underground utilities and transport services that run beneath and adjacent to the site, which are critical to informing design parameters and mitigating potential risks related to construction. Coordination with the TfL is ongoing to secure accurate mapping, service locations, and any operational constraints that may impact the project timeline and technical approach. This phase is vital for establishing a clear understanding of site-specific challenges and opportunities, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements, and setting the foundation for successful planning and delivery.
