Summary of the contracting process

Islington Council procured a building contractor to demolish the existing cricket pavilion at Wray Crescent Open Space and build a replacement one-storey pavilion on the same site. The new building is intended to provide facilities for sport in the park, community space for wider public use and an office for Park Services. The works also include landscaping and wider improvements to the park. The site is at Wray Crescent Open Space, Turlewray Close, London. This is a construction works contract (CPV 45000000).

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to T&B Contractors. The award was made on 25 September 2026, at £1,716,472.20 excluding VAT (£2,059,766.64 including VAT). The contract period runs from 30 October 2026 to 30 June 2027, with an option to extend the maximum period to 30 December 2027; the initial term is eight months and the maximum term including extensions is 14 months. The council used an open competition. The single contract was not divided into lots. Award evaluation weighted price at 50% and quality at 50%; quality covered social value (20%), programme (10%), delivery (10%), quality control (5%) and health and safety (5%).

This award shows demand from Islington Council for a small-to-medium-scale park building project combining demolition, new-build construction and external landscaping. A credible competitor for similar work would need to demonstrate the ability to manage the full delivery programme, coordinate safe demolition and construction on a park site, and deliver a functional community and sports facility with associated public-realm improvements. The evaluation gave equal weight to price and quality, so competitive pricing alone would not suffice: suppliers would need clear evidence of their approach to social value, programme control, delivery and quality assurance, alongside robust health and safety arrangements. The selected supplier was an SME, and the procurement attracted bids from other SMEs, indicating that businesses of this size can compete for this type of council project.
