Authority: Tower Hamlets
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe London Borough of Tower Hamlets is seeking a main works contractor to carry out agreed works for the proposed new mixed-use scheme of 53 residential homes for affordable rent and 5 retail units. The proposed scheme relates to the redevelopment of a cleared site, where the former office building has already been demolished. The new development will deliver fifty-three affordable homes arranged from ground to ninth floor, approximately 350 square metres of flexible Class E commercial space at ground floor level, and communal landscaped areas alongside wider public realm improvements. The scheme meets the definition of a High-Risk Building under the Building Safety Act, and the design has been refined to ensure alignment with current HRB regulatory requirements.
