Summary of the contracting process

The Corporate Officer of the House of Commons UK Parliament procured intrusive surveys within the moat lightwell of Richmond House. The surveys support a later project to stabilise the retaining wall and stepped entrance to the moat, allowing new railings to be installed along Whitehall and the Richmond House forecourt. This is construction-related survey work, classified under CPV 45000000. The work is at Richmond House and its forecourt in Westminster, London, postcode SW1A 0AA. It is relevant to contractors and specialist survey providers able to investigate existing structures and site conditions in constrained locations, particularly where findings will inform retaining-wall stabilisation and associated construction works.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. The buyer used a direct single-tender action below the threshold, rather than an open competition. The tender closed on 28 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Saltash Enterprises Ltd on 24 July 2026 for £65,144.36. The contract period runs from 29 July 2026 to 28 October 2026. The requirement was evaluated through the single-tender route, with the award recorded as active. The procurement was treated as construction work and the outcome relates to one supplier. The award concerns the intrusive surveys that will support subsequent retaining-wall and entrance stabilisation works at Richmond House.

For competitors, this award demonstrates demand from the UK Parliament for specialist investigation work supporting estate maintenance and structural stabilisation. Credible suppliers for a future requirement would need practical experience of intrusive surveys in existing buildings, lightwells, below-ground or otherwise restricted areas, and the ability to produce findings that can inform retaining-wall, stepped-access and railing works. Relevant capability includes safe site investigation, structural and construction surveying, interpreting existing conditions, and providing technically reliable information for the design and delivery of follow-on works. The scale of the selected supplier indicates that the buyer used a single established provider for a focused assignment, so proven delivery, suitable technical resources and experience in sensitive Westminster locations would strengthen a competitor’s position.
