Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, conducted by Westminster City Council on behalf of The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, involved awarding a contract for multi-disciplinary consultancy services for urgent fire safety, accessibility, and refurbishment works at Bousfield Primary School in London, United Kingdom. Categorised under building-fabric consultancy services (CPV 71315100), this process had progressed to the award stage as of 14th July 2026, with an active contract commencing on 30th June 2026 and set to conclude on 29th June 2029. The procurement followed a selective method, deriving from a call-off framework agreement. The total contract value awarded to AtkinsRealis UK Limited amounted to £992,181.

This tender represents significant opportunities for firms specialising in building consultancy services, particularly those offering stakeholder consultation, heritage consultancy, and planning consultancy. Large-scale consultancies with expertise in infrastructure refurbishment and compliance with fire safety regulations could benefit from participating in similar tenders facilitated by local authorities like Westminster City Council. This contract highlights the potential for substantial business growth through public procurement endeavours, especially for companies positioned to leverage framework agreements and deliver comprehensive consultancy solutions in metropolitan areas. However, the procurement was marked as unsuitable for SMEs or VCSEs, indicating a preference for larger, more established entities.
