Designed with passive principles and a fabric-first approach, the scheme targets a 70% reduction in carbon emissions compared with baseline levels – double the Greater London Authority’s 35% requirement. Energy efficiency will be supported by air source heat pumps and rooftop solar panels.
Bidders must demonstrate an annual turnover of at least £250m. Those shortlisted will be required to show strong credentials in design development, compliance with the Building Safety Act, second-stage cost certainty, and the delivery of social value. Sustainability performance will also form a key part of the evaluation process.
Westminster City Council will shortlist up to four bidders at the pre-qualification stage, with submissions due by 7 October. The contract award is scheduled for February 2026, with work expected to begin on site in March.
The construction programme is set to run through to July 2030
