Contract requirements

Companies bidding for work at Wandsworth Mills are required to hold £10m public liability and employers’ insurance, with £5m professional indemnity cover required for design works.

Wandsworth Mills development

Wandsworth Mills is being developed by St George, part of Berkeley Group, beside the River Wandle.

The wider 3.4-acre scheme is planned to provide 383 homes across new-build and Grade II listed buildings, alongside landscaped areas and 210 metres of river frontage.

Berkeley has also agreed a forward sale of 74 shared ownership homes at the development to Wandle Housing Association, with those homes due to enter delivery from spring 2027.

The public procurement listing does not identify which individual Wandsworth Mills building the B09 scaffolding package relates to.

Other B09 packages being brought to market include façade works, brick and blockwork, balconies, hoists, mechanical and electrical services, and drylining.
