Currently at the planning stage, this initiative involves preparing for the restoration and management of the Seven Sisters Market in London, following its closure due to Covid-19. The engagement period ends on 24th September 2021, with an expected tender release shortly thereafter. The budget for the consultancy services is set at £100,000. This tender presents a significant opportunity for consultancy firms experienced in community engagement, mediation, or management board establishment. Businesses that possess expertise in fostering partnerships and developing strategic frameworks would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. The successful bidder will be tasked with navigating complex stakeholder relationships and contributing to the revitalisation of a community-centric market space, which can lead to lasting impacts on local commerce and community wellbeing. ## Notice Seven Sisters Market, owned by TfL, closed down in March 2020 due to the impact of Covid-19. The building was due to then be redeveloped with an outside partner however that partner has now chosen not to proceed with this redevelopment. On 6 August 2021 LB Haringey announced that they would now be supporting the "Community Plan" which is a proposal for the market to begin operating again with the building to be run as a community space and the market itself to be self-managed by traders and the community. To that end TfL have proposed a strategy for short and medium term provision of temporary market spaces whilst developing a long term community-led solution. A unified approach is needed to realise the opportunity for Seven Sisters in an inclusive and professional manner, particularly given the fractious nature of the relationship with traders over the past few years. To that end TfL are seeking consultancy support to establish a partnership board with traders, the community, other experts and TfL as members. The commission will also require the consultant to lead mediation between TfL and the traders. . Services required split in to four phases. These phases will break down as follows: -Phase 1 - Mediation between stakeholder groups -Phase 2 - Setting up of the Management Board -Phase 3 - Draft strategy for long leasehold (optional - tbd) -Phase 4 - Work with partnership board to outline transitionary role (optional - tbd) If you are interested in bidding for this opportunity please submit an expression of interest via our tendering portal (https://procontract.due-north.com/Opportunities/Index?tabName=opportunities&resetFilter=True) and you will be sent a link to download the tender once it has been issued (expected to be very soon after the EOI period has finished on 24th Sept 2021). Other than submitting an EOI no other information is required from you at this stage. Please note: TfL will carry out financial checks on bidders and reserve the right to exclude any companies that, in the sole determination of TfL, are unable to demonstrate sufficient financial strength to fulfil the requirements of this contract. The deadline to submit an Expression of Interest is end of FRIDAY 24th SEPTEMBER 2021. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/62d24dfd-c911-431f-bf50-ba9eb3c9ca9e | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 Sep 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 24 Sep 2021 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | TRANSPORT FOR LONDON | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South East London | | Postcode | SE1 8NJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI44 Lewisham and Southwark | | Local authority | Southwark | | Electoral ward | Borough & Bankside | | Westminster constituency | Bermondsey and Old Southwark | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71315200 - Building consultancy services - 71315210 - Building services consultancy services ## Release History - 17 Sep 2021 at 15:58 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/62d24dfd-c911-431f-bf50-ba9eb3c9ca9e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/62d24dfd-c911-431f-bf50-ba9eb3c9ca9e 17th September 2021 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://procontract.due-north.com/Opportunities/Index?tabName=opportunities&resetFilter=True - https://tfl.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
