## Summary

The London Borough of Tower Hamlets is spearheading a procurement process within the “planning” stage, focusing on Major Works contracts to support the Mayor’s Accelerated Housing Programme. This initiative involves developing 342 homes across nine sites, with an anticipated contract period from 7th March 2027 to 7th March 2031. Prospective suppliers are invited to engage in a market launch briefing held at Tower Hamlets Town Hall, London, on 26th and 27th May 2026. Interested parties must register by midday on 22nd May 2026. This procurement process addresses the industry category of construction work for multi-dwelling buildings, overhaul, refurbishment, and building completion work.

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for growth to construction firms, particularly those specialising in multi-dwelling buildings and refurbishment projects. Small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as voluntary and community sector enterprises, are encouraged to participate, given their suitability. With a gross contract value of approximately £199.2 million and the scope to support London’s housing development, businesses have a notable opportunity to expand their portfolios by contributing to a significant housing initiative. Networking at the pre-market engagement discussions allows firms to gain insights into the Council's procurement strategy, enhancing their competitiveness in subsequent tendering phases.
