Summary of the contracting process

Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council procured miscellaneous general building maintenance and minor building works for public buildings other than council housing. The requirement covers general building work and all ancillary trades, carried out on council property within the administrative boundaries of Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council. The service falls within site works (CPV 45113000). The appointed contractor is expected to provide a full-time operative working on council property and undertaking tasks according to the Council’s instructions. This is a council-wide property maintenance requirement rather than housing maintenance, so relevant businesses are contractors able to deliver varied building repairs and associated trades across the Welwyn Hatfield area. The buying organisation is Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council, based in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Kirkman & Jourdain Ltd on 10 September 2026 following an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 19 June 2026 at 12:00. The awarded value is recorded as £0. The contract period runs from 28 October 2026 to 27 October 2029. The award is active and covers the full requirement for miscellaneous building maintenance and minor works, including ancillary trades, on the Council’s non-housing public buildings. The contract requires a full-time operative on council property, and TUPE applies to that role. The published outcome identifies one successful supplier. The procurement is categorised as services and was run as a single requirement rather than being divided into separately described lots.

This requirement indicates demand for a broad-based building maintenance contractor able to manage miscellaneous minor works across a public-sector property estate, rather than a specialist provider limited to one trade. A credible future competitor would need in-house or managed access to the ancillary trades needed to complete varied repairs, together with the workforce capacity to provide one operative full time on council property. The supplier would also need to work responsively to the Council’s instructions and maintain reliable arrangements for day-to-day delivery across Welwyn Hatfield. TUPE capability is important: bidders should be able to assess and manage the transfer of the existing role and comply with employment obligations. The contract is therefore most relevant to established general building contractors with public-building maintenance experience, operational coverage and workforce continuity.
