UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Harrow is currently in the planning stage for a major procurement initiative titled "Minor, Mechanical & Electrical Framework." This project falls under the industry category of works, specifically focusing on construction, mechanical, and electrical tasks within the Council's estate portfolio. The procurement process is designed to establish a framework agreement, and the planning phase includes a preliminary market engagement event scheduled for 22nd July 2026. The contract is expected to commence on 16th May 2027 and conclude by 15th May 2035. The procurement is aimed at the UK region, specifically within Harrow, and significant dates include the publication of a questionnaire on 31st July 2026 to gather further market insights.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in construction, mechanical, and electrical works. The framework agreement is particularly well-suited for SMEs, as the Council is actively encouraging their participation by organising a market engagement event. This event aims to break down barriers for SMEs, offering guidance and support for tender submissions. Businesses that specialise in building installation, completion, and maintenance services will find this opportunity particularly attractive, given the substantial contract value of £35.5 million. Engaging in this procurement exercise provides a stable long-term contract, enhancing business portfolios and establishing key relationships within local government sectors.
