Summary of the contracting process

The City of London Corporation, working with the City of London Police, procured project manager and contract administrator services for a new Tactical Firearms Training Facility at a City-owned site at Dagenham Dock. The requirement covers construction consultancy services for the facility project, including reviewing and developing the existing feasibility-study design. The appointed team is expected to advise on progressing the design through RIBA stages 1 to 3, complete outstanding information and support progression into RIBA stage 4. The proposed facility uses a combination of traditional and modular construction to provide an efficient and operationally effective solution for tactical firearms training. The work is delivered at Dagenham Dock in London.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 16 July 2026 to Currie & Brown UK Limited. It used a single-lot above-threshold open procedure under the Procurement Act. The awarded value is £269,200 gross of VAT, or £323,040 including VAT. The awarded contract period runs from 3 August 2026 to 28 February 2030. The original estimated value was £340,000 excluding VAT, or £408,000 including VAT, with an estimated annual value of £97,000. The tender deadline was 31 March 2026 at noon, enquiries closed on 24 March 2026 at 5pm, and the award decision period ended on 30 April 2026. Evaluation weighted technical quality at 45%, responsible procurement at 15% and commercial price at 40%. Seven bids were received, including three from SMEs.

This requirement indicates demand from the City of London Corporation and City of London Police for specialist project management and contract administration on a security-sensitive public construction project. A credible future supplier would need construction consultancy capability, experience taking complex designs through RIBA stages 1 to 4, and the ability to coordinate traditional and modular building solutions. Evidence of suitable team resources, interpretation of a detailed brief, design management, risk management and stakeholder management would be important, supported by relevant case studies and interview performance. Every proposed individual would need valid UK police-issued Non-Police Personnel Vetting Level 3 and Security Clearance certificates at tender submission. Strong climate action and social value proposals, alongside competitive pricing, would also matter.

Notice Title

Project Manager/Contractor Administrator for CoLP Tactical Firearms Training Facility (Version 2)

Notice Description

The CoLC, in collaboration with CoLC of London Police (CoLP) are undertaking a project to build a Tactical Firearm Training Facility (TFTF). A suitable site owned by CoLC at Dagenham Dock has been identified. A feasibility study was undertaken to determine the viability of the site, to evaluate cost and programme differences as well as assessing the pros and cons of either a full traditional build approach or full modular scheme to provide the new TFTF. In conclusion , it was determined that a combination of both traditional and modular design solutions is to be considered as the favoured approach to provide the most efficient and operationally effective solution. The design scheme produced during the feasibility study is to progress from RIBA stages 1 to 3, however elements of this design are incomplete and there is a requirement for the appointed design team to review the existing information/design and provide appropriate advice/expertise as to what extent the current packages are progressed further to provide a complete RIBA stage 1 and review then progress RIBA stage 2 and 3 design before commencing the RIBA stage 4. Contract duration is 3.6 years. This appointment is for Project Manger and Contract Adminstrator services. Please see full scope of services within tender documents.
