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.

"noEngagementNoticeRationale": "The City has not conducted any Preliminary Market Engagement prior to the issuing of the Tender Notice, due to the following: Pre-market engagement was not conducted for this procurement due to the clearly defined nature of the requirement, which aligns with existing market capabilities and standards. The procurement is being undertaken using an above-threshold open procedure under the Procurement Act, with appropriate vetting requirements and experience-based conditions of participation included in the tender. Sufficient knowledge of the market was already available internally, based on previous procurements and sector-specific expertise, making it possible to develop robust and relevant documentation without the need for additional engagement. Given the urgency and resource considerations involved, it was deemed proportionate and efficient to proceed directly to tender."
