In plain English
The City of London is hiring a construction logistics company to manage the day-to-day movement of materials, workers, and vehicles during a major refurbishment of the occupied Barbican Centre. This is a large-scale operation that requires coordinating site access, waste removal, temporary facilities, security, traffic control, and worker safety across the entire construction programme.
What the buyer wants
• Provide a Logistics Manager, supervisors and operatives to manage site traffic, deliveries, hoisting, and worker movement throughout the refurbishment • Set up and run site accommodation, welfare facilities, security gates, CCTV, access control and visitor management systems • Manage all waste collection, segregation, skips and environmental compliance reporting • Coordinate tower cranes, hoists, gantry cranes and all lifting operations with trained operators and banksmen • Protect the building interior (floors, walls, lifts, doors) with temporary screens, dust control and daily cleaning • Provide fire safety infrastructure, fire marshals, emergency signage and coordination with the building's fire systems
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This is a £3.5 million contract requiring a large, established logistics company with extensive experience managing occupied buildings, full accreditations across multiple disciplines (lifting, fire safety, health and safety), and the capacity to employ or subcontract 20+ trained personnel: most small businesses and sole traders will lack the scale, experience and bonding required.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
