How the mega-markets complex could look

T&T, which last week said it was selling 60% of its business to US firm CBRE, has been picked to project manage the construction of the market, while G&T will act as cost consultant.

The City Corporation was awarded by Barking and Dagenham council in March for the plans that will co-locate the three historic markets together for the first time. The concept design for the site will be progressed in September.

The two consultants were appointed to the project via the Procure Partnerships Framework.
