Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "City of London School Summer Works 2025" was initiated by The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London, a public authority within sub-central government. The project is situated in the City of London, UKI region, and falls under the industry category of construction work for school buildings. This open competition, below threshold in nature, moved from its tender stage on 3rd April 2025 to the award stage, with the contract being signed on 21st July 2025. The project involves substantial works including internal finishes, fire safety upgrades, and mechanical systems improvements, all to be completed in time for the end of the summer break on 1st September 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs, particularly those with experience in school building construction and mechanical/electrical systems. The awarded contract, valued at £1,637,927.77, was secured by Sykes & Son Limited, an SME based in London. Businesses specializing in technical construction, health and safety in educational environments, and those with a focus on environmentally responsible procurement are well-suited for this type of work. The structured criteria, with a significant emphasis on quality and technical skills, provide a space for such companies to showcase their expertise and potentially grow within the public procurement sector.
