Summary of the contracting process

Tower Hamlets is seeking a contractor to build nine affordable-rent homes on the former One Stop Shop site at 1 Rushmead, London, and provide new and improved communal landscaping for residents of the estate. This is a construction works project covering both residential development and improvements to shared outdoor space. The work is for the council and is to be delivered at Rushmead in London.

The council invited offers through an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 27 November 2026 at 12:00, and the deadline for enquiries was 17 November 2026 at 17:00. The planned contract period runs from 18 January 2027 to 30 June 2028. The estimated value is £6,699,997 excluding VAT (£8,039,996 including VAT). There is one lot. Evaluation is weighted 50% on qualitative proposals, 10% on social value and 40% on price. Legal, financial and technical participation conditions are set out in the Invitation to Tender. Payment terms are in the tender pack.

The requirement is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It will suit construction contractors able to deliver a small residential development of affordable-rent homes alongside communal landscaping improvements in an occupied estate. Bidders need to demonstrate the legal and financial capacity and technical ability required by the Invitation to Tender. Competition will depend on the quality of proposals and their social-value response as well as price, so suppliers should be able to address all three aspects in their offer. The project also carries exposure to legislative changes and fluctuations in material prices, making relevant project planning and cost management capabilities pertinent.
