Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the "HAR6108 Wood Wharf School" project has been undertaken by the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, a sub-central government authority. The project, which falls under the construction industry category, involves the completion of a two-form entry primary school in London, United Kingdom. Following an open procurement method, this contract is now at the award stage, with Alpine Works Limited being awarded the contract on 8th April 2026. Key completion milestones include a future signature date scheduled for 20th April 2026 and a project handover deadline by September 2026, to ensure full operational readiness for the additional intake of pupils. The total value of the award is £883,390.60, with the contract period spanning from 27th April 2026 to 31st August 2027.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses involved in construction, mechanical, electrical, and finishing works, particularly those that can provide comprehensive operational and maintenance documentation. SMEs, such as Alpine Works Limited, which actively participated and succeeded in the final bidding stages, demonstrate the suitability of this project for small to medium enterprises. Potential bidders needed to display strong quality and price propositions, with emphasised criteria aiming at quality (60%), price (30%), and social value (10%). Companies with the capability to manage complex construction projects and meet stringent regulatory requirements are well positioned to capitalise on such procurement opportunities to enhance their portfolio and cultivate growth.

Notice Title

HAR6108 Wood Wharf School

Notice Description

Wood Wharf School is a two form entry primary school located within a mixed use development, providing 2,197 m2 of educational space across four floors including the ground level. The building forms part of a Section 106 agreement with the Canary Wharf Group. The previous main works contractor entered voluntary insolvency in November 2024, leaving the project in an incomplete, partially occupied and distressed condition. Interim works were undertaken during summer 2025 to secure an extended partial occupation approval from Building Control, enabling the school to occupy the ground and first floors from September 2025 for the incoming cohort of pupils. The purpose of the remaining works is to complete the entire scheme to full compliance and operational readiness. This includes completing all outstanding construction, mechanical, electrical, and finishing works across the upper floors and external areas; achieving full Building Control sign off for the whole building; and delivering every element set out within the agreed pricing schedule. The completion phase also requires the provision of all relevant warranties, certifications, statutory documentation, and full Operation & Maintenance manuals to ensure the building meets all regulatory, safety, and performance standards. These works must be completed and the building fully handed over by September 2026 to accommodate an additional cohort of 60 pupils and to bring the school into full, permanent occupation.
