What is being bought

Published requirement description

Procurement for a Principal Contractor to demolish the existing St George’s Leisure Centre and other associated structures; and to complete a PCSA (in a two-stage D&B contract) for RIBA Stage 4 design for two new buildings for the site: a state-of-the-art leisure facility (with wet and dry leisure facilities, including a 25m swimming pool); and an 8-storey residential building delivering 29 new affordable rent homes. The project also includes associated landscaping and public realm improvements to St George’s Gardens and the surroundings of the proposed new buildings. Both the leisure facilities and residential accommodation will be owned and managed by the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.

The building is situated in the St George in the East Conservation Area, on The Highway A1203 (a TfL Red Route). The site is in proximity to the Grade I Listed Church of St George in the East and other Listed structures.

The existing St George’s Leisure Centre, which is proposed for demolition, comprises of two components: a two-storey block to the east which houses administration, changing facilities, and the training pool; and a four-storey block which accommodates the 33.3m swimming pool. A further single storey ancillary block is located to the west. An 18-space car park at ground level wraps around the existing leisure centre.
