The City of London Corporation has announced plans to procure a contractor for the main construction works on a new tactical firearms training facility for the City of London Police.<\/p>\n

A two-stage design-and-build procurement process is expected to begin in July 2026, with the appointment of a main contractor set for August 2027. The pre-construction services agreement is scheduled to run from November 2026 to April 2027, ahead of an anticipated start on site in August 2027. Completion is expected by October 2028.<\/p>\n

The scheme will deliver 6,137 square metres of facilities, including a firing range, classrooms, skills house, secure storage, parking and offices.<\/p>\n

Modular construction methods are planned as part of the works, according to a pipeline notice from the Corporation, released today (14 May).<\/p>\n

The estimated value of the main contract is \u00a316.5m excluding VAT, rising to \u00a319.8m with VAT.<\/p>\n

Although the pipeline notice confirms a procurement strategy, it is not a call for competition and no tender documents have been issued.<\/p>\n

The Corporation has signalled that the scheme will be open to bids from small and medium-sized enterprises.<\/p>\n
