The City of London Corporation initiated a Pre-Market Engagement (PME) for the Bastion House soft strip-out and demolition project (Levels 3-15). The PME process aimed to engage potential contractors by providing them with project details to inform their submissions and gather insights to support future tendering. Pre-Market Engagement Details: PME Period: The PME exercise took place from March 31 to April 7, 2025. Invitation to Participate: Invitations were issued to contractors, requesting submissions including company details, relevant experience, and asbestos removal accreditations. Outcomes: Supplier Responses: Two suppliers responded within the PME period, providing details of their experience and qualifications. Supplier Experience: Both suppliers demonstrated extensive experience in demolition, asbestos removal, and soft strip works. They also provided case studies of similar projects, ensuring that they meet the required safety and compliance standards for asbestos removal. Next Steps: The PME exercise has now concluded, and the information gathered will inform the open below-threshold tender process set to be published this week. This PME exercise has successfully engaged potential contractors, ensuring that the City of London Corporation is ready to move forward with the open below-threshold tender process, ultimately selecting a contractor based on price, technical expertise, and responsible procurement practices.
