Summary of the contracting process

Tower Hamlets procured a single contractor for comprehensive building fabric works and reactive repairs across its property assets. The requirement covers day-to-day operational building works, emergency and planned repairs, and minor projects, including unblocking drains, repairing windows and doors, refurbishing kitchens and offices, and fencing and paving. It is construction and associated property maintenance work (CPV 45000000). The assets covered include all Council-operated buildings and parks in Tower Hamlets, such as offices, libraries, children’s centres and day centres. The Council is the public-sector buyer. The requirement combines works and services and is suited to a contractor able to manage varied building maintenance tasks across a broad public estate through one service.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded and signed. Tower Hamlets used a UK open procedure for one lot. Seven valid bids reached the final stage, all from SMEs. The award was made to B. & M. McHugh Limited on 21 November 2025. The awarded and contracted value is £8,000,000 excluding VAT, or £9,600,000 including VAT. The signed contract runs from 29 July 2026 to 5 July 2028, with two possible 12-month extensions at the Council’s discretion, allowing a maximum end date of 5 July 2030. Evaluation weighted quality at 60%, price at 30% and social value at 10%; detailed award criteria were set out in the invitation to tender documents.

This procurement demonstrates recurring demand from Tower Hamlets for a single contractor capable of delivering responsive property maintenance, building fabric repairs and minor construction projects across a varied public estate. A credible competitor would need broad practical capability covering drainage, windows, doors, kitchens, offices, fencing, paving and general building works, together with the capacity to coordinate reactive and planned activity across multiple Council facilities and parks. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a suitably resourced specialist rather than only a national contractor. Strong quality management and social-value delivery would be important, alongside reliable site attendance, clear reporting and communication, conduct and compliance, accurate documentation, incident reporting, and maintenance of required accreditations. These performance areas formed part of the contract’s agreed monitoring measures.
