Companies with expertise in developing engineering strategies, ground improvement techniques, and sustainable design will find this project particularly well-suited to their capabilities. With the potential for ongoing involvement during the development phase, successful bidders can enhance their portfolios and establish long-term partnerships with the City of London Corporation.

## Notice

The City of London Corporation proposes to relocate three wholesale markets to co-locate the existing operations at Smithfield (meat and poultry), New Spitalfields(fruit and vegetables) and Billingsgate (fish) markets, collectively referred to as the City Markets, to a single site. The proposed location of the consolidated market is the site of the former Barking Reach Power Station (the Site) at Dagenham Dock, in the London Borough of Barking & Dagenham (LBBD). The Geotechnical engineer is to be appointed for the duration of the development,including the potential to provide services to the main contractor under a novation agreement. In February - July 2021 alternative foundation options, including the extent of re use of the existing Barking Reach Power station substructure were investigated.Following soft market testing with general contractors the report concluded where there were existing foundations these could be taken as 'existing ground conditions'to support a ground bearing slab for the new wholesale market buildings and new piles would be inserted for the proposed frame.
