UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Tower Hamlets is seeking a main contractor for the construction of 32 affordable-rent homes on the car park site at Brunton Wharf Estate, Limehouse, London. The development includes new amenity space, children’s play space, wider estate security upgrades and improvements to existing undercroft parking. This is a high-risk building, so the works must meet the requirements of the Building Safety Act and reflect design changes made for recent regulatory requirements. The procurement covers construction work under a two-stage design-and-build approach, using RIBA Stage 3+ information and a PCSA before agreeing a fixed price. The council is the buying organisation and the delivery location is London. The scheme is intended to provide new residential accommodation alongside estate improvements and associated external and communal works.

The process has reached tender: Tower Hamlets invited offers through an open procedure. It is a single procurement covering the whole scheme. Enquiries had to be submitted by 6 October 2026 at 17:00, and tenders were due by 16 October 2026 at 12:00. The anticipated award decision date is 10 November 2026. The contract period is 1 January 2027 to 31 March 2029. The estimated value is £15,809,000 excluding VAT, or £18,970,800 including VAT. Evaluation is based on quality at 50%, price at 40% and social value at 10%. Price includes the PCSA elements and target construction price. Bidders must pass the council’s financial assessment threshold and meet all requirements in the PSQ and ITT. Electronic submission is allowed in English.

This opportunity suits a main contractor with experience delivering multi-unit residential construction and managing complex design-and-build projects from developed design through construction. Relevant suppliers should be able to work within a two-stage process, develop pricing through a PCSA and manage the transition to a fixed-price target construction arrangement. Experience of high-risk buildings, Building Safety Act duties and Building Safety Regulator Gateway approvals will be important, alongside the ability to coordinate design, construction, estate security, play space, amenity areas and alterations to existing undercroft parking. Bidders need sufficient financial strength to pass the council’s assessment and the technical capability to meet the PSQ and ITT requirements. Small and medium-sized enterprises are considered suitable for this procurement, and strong social-value proposals will contribute to the evaluation.
