Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "VRI - Kensington" was initiated by the Metropolitan Police Service, focusing on construction work in London, United Kingdom. This tender, identified by the CPV code 45000000, has progressed to the award stage and involves carrying out works in accordance with MET standards for VRI Suites. The procurement method used was selective, via a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period concluded on 17th October 2025, and the contract is set to run from 28th October 2025 to 16th January 2026. The total contract value awarded is £296,726.50, and the award was published on 12th November 2025, with the supplier being SW Bruce & Co. Ltd.

This contract presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for businesses specialising in construction. Enterprises with expertise in meeting specific design and construction standards will find this tender especially relevant. Given the procurement's selective nature through a framework agreement, businesses already part of such frameworks or those with established credentials in public sector projects stand well-positioned to compete. Although this particular tender has been awarded, similar future opportunities could benefit companies aiming to expand their portfolio in construction projects for public sector clients like the Metropolitan Police Service.
