Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "IMO Lighting & BMS 2025" was managed by the Department for Transport, based in London, UK. The procurement falls under the industry category of refurbishment work, specifically focusing on building maintenance and upgrades. Key stages of the process included a tender launch on 13 January 2025, with a deadline for submissions by 10 February 2025 at noon. The site, located at 4 Albert Embankment, SE1 7SR, London, was set for evaluation and construction works in July and August 2025. Notably, Niblock (Builders) Limited was awarded the contract on 24 March 2025, with the contract signed on 12 May 2025, valued at £570,398.47. The procurement process employed an open procedure, ensuring broad eligibility and competition.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialising in electrical installations, maintenance services, and building management systems (BMS). Firms with a background in Siemens BMS installations and proven project case studies in lighting and fan coil unit control systems would be well-suited to compete. As the project involves significant upgrades to lighting and control systems, it invites innovation and efficiency improvements, which can lead to long-term business growth and partnerships with government departments. The phase of refurbishment and maintenance work opens doors for electrical and mechanical contractors looking to expand their portfolio and demonstrate their capabilities in large-scale government projects.
