What is being bought

Published requirement description

Places for London Limited intends to enter into a new 13-month contract with Market

Place Management Limited for the continued operation and management of Seven

Sisters Temporary Market.

The contract will provide continuity of the existing market operator services, including the

day-to-day operation of the market, trader engagement and compliance, trader licensing

and rent monitoring, health and safety coordination, marketing and footfall activity,

stakeholder engagement, and supervision and liaison with separately appointed facilities

management providers.

Market Place Management Limited has developed and embedded the site-specific

operational procedures, health and safety arrangements, trader licensing and compliance

records, rent-management processes and stakeholder relationships required for the

uninterrupted operation of the market.

For the limited 13-month period, appointment of an alternative operator would require

mobilisation, transfer and validation of operational and safety documentation, stakeholder

re-engagement and detailed site familiarisation. Places for London considers that this would create material transition and operational risks and that there is no reasonable

alternative capable of providing uninterrupted delivery from the required commencement

date.

Why no open competition
Single Suppliers Technical Reasons; Additional Repeat Extension Partial Replacement
Published justification

The contract will be directly awarded under section 41 of the Procurement Act 2023, relying on Schedule 5, paragraph 6. Due to an absence of competition for technical reasons, only Market Place Management Limited can provide the required uninterrupted services for the limited 13-month period.

The incumbent has embedded the unique, site-specific, operational procedures, safety arrangements, trader records, licensing and compliance processes, rent-management systems and stakeholder relationships required for uninterrupted operation of the market. A replacement provider would have to duplicate mobilisation, due diligence, document transfer and validation, stakeholder engagement and operational familiarisation, creating disproportionate cost and a material risk of service disruption. The procurement has not been artificially narrowed and the scope remains limited to the existing market operator services.
