What is being bought

The London Borough of Tower Hamlets (LBTH) Council is undertaking a formal tender process for the complete replacement of a hydrotherapy pool at a school for severely disabled children. The goal of this project is to deliver a modern, fully accessible, hydrotherapy pool that will effectively support the therapeutic needs of the students. This project involves the complete replacement of the hydrotherapy pool, addressing issues such as leaks and the current condition of the pool. A detailed structural survey will be required during the works, along with associated integrity testing. The design will prioritise ease of access for ongoing maintenance to ensure long-term operational efficiency and to reduce costs throughout the asset’s lifecycle. The scope of the project also includes the installation of new systems and upgrades to existing systems, including lighting, sensory equipment, underwater lighting, ventilation, heating, and drainage, to enhance functionality and improve reliability. The pool area will be fully redecorated to improve its appearance while considering the environmental humidity. Furthermore, the project will involve the complete replacement and reconfiguration of all plant room equipment, along with the associated mechanical and electrical plant and equipment. All tender documents are available free of charge at https://www.londontenders.org/ The Council reserve the right not to award any contract pursuant to this procurement exercise and/or to abandon this procurement exercise at any time and/or to award a contract for part of the services at it's sole discretion. The Council shall have no liability whatsoever to any applicant or tenderer as a result of its exercise of that discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, all costs incurred by any applicant and/or tenderer before signature of any contract with the Council shall be incurred entirely at that applicant's/tenderer's risk. The Council will observe a stand still period following the award of the contract and conduct itself in respect of any appeals in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 45. The category anchor is Construction work for buildings relating to leisure, sports, culture, lodging and restaurants (45212000); 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.

“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.

The goal of this project is to deliver a modern, fully accessible, hydrotherapy pool that will effectively support the therapeutic needs of the students.\nThis project involves the complete replacement of the hydrotherapy pool, addressing issues such as leaks and the current condition of the pool. A detailed structural survey will be required during the works, along with associated integrity testing. The design will prioritise ease of access for ongoing maintenance to ensure long-term operational efficiency and to reduce costs throughout the asset’s lifecycle.\nThe scope of the project also includes the installation of new systems and upgrades to existing systems, including lighting, sensory equipment, underwater lighting, ventilation, heating, and drainage, to enhance functionality and improve reliability. The pool area will be fully redecorated to improve its appearance while considering the environmental humidity.\nFurthermore, the project will involve the complete replacement and reconfiguration of all plant room equipment, along with the associated mechanical and electrical plant and equipment.\nFor further information and a copy of the market engagement brief please refer to www.londontenders.org\nNOTE: Attendance at the market engagement is optional and does not provide suppliers with an advantage in any future related procurement.  Attendance also does not constitute as an intention to tender for any future related procurement.",
