Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Islington procured planned preventive maintenance for lightning conductors across various sites in the United Kingdom. The service covers annual visits to inspect conductor tape, fastenings and joints, together with annual visits for bonding and earth terminations. This is a repair and maintenance service, intended to keep lightning protection systems maintained and operational. The procurement is for services and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The buyer is London Borough of Islington, based in Islington, London. The requirement is focused on specialist inspection and maintenance of lightning conductor systems rather than general building maintenance, so it is most relevant to contractors with an established lightning protection maintenance capability.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a restricted procedure above the threshold. Bids were due by 27 July 2026. The contract was awarded to Cuttings, legally identified as R C Cutting & Co Ltd, on 30 July 2026 for £5,580. The awarded contract period runs from 28 July 2026 to 30 July 2026, although the requirement describes yearly planned visits. The award is active and the tender status is complete. The contracting route was selective rather than an open procedure. The stated evaluation basis is not detailed beyond the restricted procedure. There was one award covering the described lightning conductor maintenance services, with no separate lots identified.

This award provides a clear indication of demand from London Borough of Islington for recurring, planned maintenance of lightning protection systems across multiple sites. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical expertise in inspecting conductor tape, fastenings and joints, checking bonding arrangements, and maintaining earth terminations. It would also need the operational capacity to coordinate visits across various locations and produce reliable maintenance records for a public-sector estate. The opportunity is particularly relevant to specialist lightning protection contractors and smaller firms able to deliver scheduled inspection and remedial work directly. Experience of working safely on occupied or operational sites, consistent service management and the ability to cover the buyer’s sites would strengthen a competing supplier’s position.
