What is being bought

The London Borough of Tower Hamlets (the Council) intends to procure a Provider to deliver a package of works to enhance the café hub, landscape areas, entrances, circulation routes, and children’s play facilities at King Edward VII Memorial Park. These improvements form part of a wider programme to upgrade the park’s recreational, ecological, and community infrastructure. The project includes demolition, re-development and extension of the former bowls club building to create a new 2 storey building which includes a café kiosk, changing rooms, and flexible multipurpose community space. It also incorporates redevelopment of the under 5s playground, creation of a new over 5s to teenage play area, and comprehensive hard and soft landscaping works. Please note, this notice is not a call for competition or a commitment to procure. Participation in this market engagement will not prejudice future involvement in any subsequent procurement process and does not commit LBTH to running a competitive tender process in the future.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 37. The category anchor is Sports goods and equipment (37400000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
