The London Borough of Merton is seeking a development partner to collaborate on redeveloping and regenerating the Morden town centre in southwest London.

Issued by the London Borough of Merton—a sub-central public authority—with support from Deloitte LLP, the notice outlines plans to select a development partner through a competitive flexible procedure, expected to launch formally on February 2, 2026. The core focus is on construction works, encompassing a long-term contract spanning approximately 10 years from May 3, 2027, to May 1, 2037, with potential activities extending across various UK regions, including London, the South East, and beyond. While the estimated value remains unspecified and detailed eligibility criteria are not yet provided, the initiative aims to foster economic growth and urban renewal in the area, inviting interested parties to monitor the service for the full tender documents, submission guidelines, and enquiry contacts at commercial.services@merton.gov.uk. This early heads-up allows potential bidders, such as construction firms and developers, ample time to prepare expressions of interest and align with the council's vision for a revitalized town center.
