Summary of the contracting process

Newham Community Learning is buying facilities management services for Sarah Bonnell School in London. The work covers facilities and building management, including planned preventative maintenance, statutory compliance, building safety and asset maintenance. The procurement also allows the contractor’s staff to purchase materials and equipment needed to carry out the facilities and building management tasks, including compliance testing. The requirement concerns the school only; the service is not described as covering other sites. The work falls within building and facilities management services. It is intended to maintain the school’s buildings and assets and support ongoing compliance and safety while the organisation finalises its longer-term procurement requirements.

The procurement has been awarded to Donland Engineering Limited, a Romford-based supplier, through a direct award without competition and below the procurement threshold. The first award was made on 1 August 2025, with a contract period from 1 September 2025 to 28 March 2026; its value was £132,439 excluding VAT (£158,927 including VAT). A further award was made on 10 March 2026, for a period from 15 April to 31 August 2026, valued at £87,631 excluding VAT (£105,157 including VAT). The active contract was subsequently extended by 5.5 months for planned preventative maintenance at Sarah Bonnell School, from 18 August 2026 to 12 February 2027. The amended contract value is £186,431 excluding VAT (£223,717.20 including VAT).

This requirement suits a facilities management provider able to maintain a school building, deliver planned preventative maintenance and manage building safety, statutory compliance and asset maintenance. Suppliers need the operational capability to undertake compliance testing and to provide or procure the materials and equipment needed by their staff for the work. The award to an engineering services SME shows that a smaller specialist provider was selected for this requirement; the work was awarded directly rather than through a competitive process. For a future requirement at this school, relevant experience in education premises, reliable maintenance delivery and the ability to sustain compliance and safety standards would be commercially pertinent. The scope is site-specific, so businesses whose facilities management capability is suited to a single school are more relevant than providers focused only on large multi-site portfolios.
