In plain English
Waltham Forest Council wants a contractor to convert two existing buildings into temporary homes: Rowan House in E11 (16 self-contained flats) and 130 Trumpington Road in E7 (14 self-contained flats). The work is tendered as one design and build contract with an estimated value of £6.4 million.
What the buyer wants
• Design and build conversion of two existing buildings into 30 self-contained temporary homes across Rowan House, Cecil Road, E11 and 130 Trumpington Road, E7. • Delivery under a single design and build contract, where the successful firm handles both the design and the building work. • Entry through a pre-selection questionnaire, with shortlisted firms then invited to tender.
Requirements
What could rule a small business out (our reading of the notice, written with AI): At an estimated £6.4 million, with design and build responsibility for two buildings, the scope will most likely rule out small firms that cannot show the scale of construction capacity and design capability needed, although the notice itself does not state specific financial or experience thresholds.
