The process is aimed at engaging the market to assess supplier capacity and innovation before formal tendering. The Market Engagement Event is scheduled for 24th March 2026 at the Grocers Wing, LBTH Town Hall, offering insights on about 10-15 projects within the construction industry category. Interested suppliers are encouraged to complete a questionnaire by this date to attend one-on-one discussions, which will inform the tender documentation and strategies. The estimated gross value of these projects is £108 million, and further details are available in the Market Engagement Brief accessible via the London Tenders Portal. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses operating in construction work and related materials, especially Tier 1, Tier 2, and local SMEs contractors. The engagement involves uncovering project sites, timelines, and values, which could aid entities looking to expand their market presence or diversify their portfolio within the sector. The Tower Hamlets Council is an influential public authority, providing potential long-term contracts extending from September 2026 to December 2028. Businesses with resilient supply chains and innovative solutions stand to gain from tailoring their bid to align with best practices and the procurement expectations set forth during this engagement phase. ## Notice The Council is engaging the market to gauge supplier capacity, experience and innovation ahead of formal tendering.
