Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Tower Hamlets procured the main construction works for Copenhagen Place: a single contractor to build 18 new homes and complete associated landscaping. The requirement is construction work under a JCT Design and Build Contract with Fixed Price 2016, based on RIBA Stage 3+ design information. The buyer is the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, a local authority in London. The procurement covers one requirement rather than separate work packages, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The scope is therefore suited to a principal building contractor able to take responsibility for design development and construction delivery, including the housing works and external landscaping. The contract is above the relevant threshold and is classified as works, with construction work as the stated activity.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to MY CONTRACTS LIMITED on 16 July 2026. The award is active and covers the single requirement. The awarded value is £8,000,000 excluding VAT and £9,600,000 including VAT. The award contract period is 1 August 2026 to 31 December 2026. It used an open competitive flexible procedure with two stages: an initial request for core proposals, followed by a restricted tender stage for the highest-scoring bidders. Three valid final-stage bids were received, including two from SMEs. The tender submission deadline was 12 March 2026 at 12:00, and the enquiry deadline was 2 March 2026 at 17:00. Quality questions carried 100% of the stated evaluation weighting. The lot was identified as suitable for SMEs.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Tower Hamlets for a principal contractor to deliver new-build housing and associated landscaping under a fixed-price design-and-build arrangement. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to manage a single, sizeable housing construction package from RIBA Stage 3+ information through to completion, while coordinating design development, building works and external works. Experience delivering new homes and landscaping together would be directly relevant, as would the commercial and operational capacity to perform under a JCT Design and Build Contract with a fixed price. The competitive process attracted three valid final-stage bids, two from SMEs, indicating that suitably capable smaller contractors can compete. Strong, evidence-based responses to quality questions would be central to progressing through the two-stage evaluation.
