Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Islington Council procured a main contractor for an affordable workspace project at Elthorne Road. The work is construction, covering delivery of the workspace project; the listed delivery location is England. The requirement was classified as construction work (CPV 45000000). This is a council-led project focused on creating affordable workspace, so it is most relevant to building contractors able to take responsibility for delivering a construction project rather than suppliers of workspace services alone.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Grenville building & decorating contractors limited. The award date was 11 September 2026, and the awarded value is £394,000. The contract period runs from 2 October 2026 to 3 March 2027. The council used a selective competitive dialogue procedure. Bids closed on 10 July 2026. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Evaluation was complete before award, with assessment letters issued to both successful and unsuccessful bidders. The data records one award and one contract period for the Elthorne Road affordable workspace project.

For contractors that did not win, this award provides a direct indication of Islington Council’s demand for a main contractor to deliver affordable workspace construction. A future competitor would need the capacity to take overall responsibility for a defined building project and complete delivery within a relatively short contract period. The selected business is identified as an SME, showing that a smaller contractor was appointed for this requirement. Competitive dialogue was the route used, so suppliers should be prepared to engage with the council through a selective process and explain how their delivery approach meets the project’s needs. Relevant construction experience and the ability to manage work through to completion would be central to being credible for this specific type of council project. No particular accreditation or technical specialism is identified.
