Summary of the contracting process

Westminster City Council procured remedial and completion works for six shopfronts in the Paddington and Bayswater area of London. The works followed the administration of the previously appointed main contractor after work had started, leaving partially completed sites requiring making good for public safety and shop owners. The requirement covers completion of those shopfront improvement works, intended to support footfall and the local economy. It is a construction works contract, classified under CPV 45213112 for shop unit construction work. Businesses relevant to this requirement include main contractors and building contractors able to undertake shopfront remediation, finish incomplete construction work and coordinate delivery across multiple commercial premises in an urban area.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct single-tender action described as below threshold. The tender submission deadline was 1 July 2026 at noon. Westminster City Council awarded the contract to Mitre Construction Company Limited on 5 August 2026 for £279,676. The contract runs from 5 August 2026 to 31 October 2026. The tender’s estimated value and the awarded value are both £279,676. The award is active and relates to the full requirement for remedial and completion works across the six shopfronts; no lots or separate awards are identified. The opportunity was considered suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the procurement was categorised as works.

This award indicates a defined requirement for contractors that can take over partially completed shopfront projects, assess existing work, make sites safe and deliver construction completion works across several premises. A credible competitor for similar requirements would need practical shopfront construction and remedial capability, including the ability to resolve defects, complete unfinished elements and work around occupied or trading commercial properties. Experience managing urgent, inherited or disrupted projects would be relevant, as would dependable site supervision, coordination with shop owners and the council, and capacity to deliver multiple locations within a short programme. The buyer’s classification of the requirement as suitable for SMEs shows that a capable smaller construction business could be well placed to compete when comparable work returns.
