Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Tower Hamlets concerns the fabrication of market stalls as part of the Whitechapel Road Improvement Programme. This open competition tender, titled "CO6190 - Fabrication of Whitechapel of Market Stalls," falls under the construction work industry category and is located in London, United Kingdom. The process is currently in the tender stage, with electronic submissions allowed until 13th July 2026, and an enquiry deadline of 3rd July 2026. This project is aimed at enhancing the market environment for local communities, and the estimated completion period runs from October 2026 to September 2028.

This tender presents a notable opportunity for businesses in the construction sector, particularly those with expertise in specialist and technical public realm projects. The procurement value of up to £2,160,000 implies a substantial opportunity for revenue generation. Furthermore, with an emphasis on a combination of price and quality—including social value—businesses that demonstrate strong technical capabilities and a commitment to social outcomes are well-positioned to compete. As the procurement method is open, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as detailed in the tender documents available via the London Tenders portal.

Notice Title

CO6190 - Fabrication of Whitechapel of Market Stalls

Notice Description

This work forms part of the Whitechapel Road Improvement Programme (WRIP) which continues to see significant investment in the public spaces around Whitechapel, market, and associated infrastructure, to create the best possible environment for local communities. A market stall prototype has been trialled on Whitechapel Road's northern footway successfully for several months, and feedback collected from a large range of stakeholders (including the traders themselves) has informed the final design/functionality of the market stall design. This will have a positive impact on the market for all - it will be easier for the Markets Team to manage, it will be a better environment for market traders to sell their products, and it will provide a more spacious, clean and attractive shopping destination for marketgoers. There will be disruption to the public realm and market pitches on the northern footway of Whitechapel Road as the new stalls are installed. Delivery will take place in phases to ensure traders can be relocated to other areas of the market and not disrupt their ability to trade. The production and installation of these market stalls is specialised, technical work. It is expected that the full period of fabrication to installation could take up to 9months.
