What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe City of London Corporation is exploring redevelopment of 50–52 Aldgate High Street to provide a unified, purpose-built base for the City of London Police Mounted Unit. The site offers key operational benefits including central access, rear servicing, and sufficient space for stabling, welfare facilities, and horse-box manoeuvring. The project is currently in feasibility and early site assessment, with extensive engagement underway with TfL regarding underground constraints and land status.
Estimated construction value: £4m
Estimated programme: Feb 2026 – March 2028 (112 weeks)
Procurement route: Single-Stage Design & Build (JCT D&B)
The Structural Engineer is required to support RIBA Stages 2–4 as lead structural designer, then act as Client Monitoring Agent through construction to completion and defects.
- No preliminary market engagement: The City has not conducted any Preliminary Market Engagement prior to the issuing of the Tender Notice, due to the following: Pre-market engagement was not conducted for this procurement due to the clearly defined nature of the requirement, which aligns with existing market capabilities and standards. The procurement is being undertaken using an above-threshold open procedure under the Procurement Act, with appropriate vetting requirements and experience-based conditions of participation included in the tender. Sufficient knowledge of the market was already available internally, based on previous procurements and sector-specific expertise, making it possible to develop robust and relevant documentation without the need for additional engagement. Given the urgency and resource considerations involved, it was deemed proportionate and efficient to proceed directly to tender.
