UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Hackney commissioned a Green Skills Hub in London. The requirement is classified as works and covers construction work alongside community, social and personal services. In practical terms, the procurement combines creating or delivering a physical skills hub with community-focused services connected to green skills. The buyer is Hackney Council, with delivery in the London Borough of Hackney. The awards identify the same supplier under two related legal records: The Skills Centre London Limited and THE SKILLS CENTRE LONDON LIMITED. This is therefore relevant to construction businesses, training or skills providers, and organisations able to combine built-environment delivery with community and social services. The scope is specific to a green skills facility rather than general construction or standalone training.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. One lot was recorded, with two active awards to The Skills Centre London Limited and THE SKILLS CENTRE LONDON LIMITED. Both awards cover works and the same construction and community/social service classifications. Both contracts were signed on 16 February 2025 and originally run from 1 March 2025 to 31 March 2027. The first contract is recorded at £60,000 excluding VAT and £72,000 including VAT. Its implementation end date is 10 September 2026, and an administrative termination notice was issued because of an incorrect VAT value; the contracting record states that the contract was not actually terminated. The second contract is valued at £60,000, with the published value excluding and including VAT both shown as £60,000, and remains active.

This award is useful market evidence for suppliers targeting Hackney’s green-skills and community infrastructure requirements. A credible future competitor would need to combine construction capability with the delivery of community, social and personal services, rather than offering only building work or only training. Relevant organisations may include construction businesses with experience of skills, employability or community facilities, training providers able to work in a built-environment setting, and partnerships bringing both capabilities together. The procurement also indicates that Hackney has used a direct, below-threshold route for a focused requirement, so suppliers should be able to present a clear, proportionate offer for a defined local project. Experience delivering a physical hub and working with a public-sector buyer in London would strengthen credibility when a similar requirement is considered.
