Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Lewisham is procuring hard facilities management services for building fabric repairs, maintenance and minor works across its corporate property estate in southeast London. The requirement covers approximately 70 sites, including offices, libraries, community buildings, children’s centres and other operational properties. Services include planned and reactive repairs, fault diagnosis, emergency out-of-hours response, minor alterations and fabric-related installations, planned building-fabric maintenance including roof safety equipment, and technical advice. The work spans carpentry, joinery, doors and windows, roofing, guttering, plastering, painting, glazing, masonry, bricklaying, waterproofing, tiling, flooring, wall coverings, fencing, fire-prevention installations and other building-completion activities. The contract is for services and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited suppliers to submit offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission via the London Tenders portal. This is a single-lot requirement. The estimated value is £2,916,666.67 excluding VAT, or £3,500,000 including VAT. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2029, with a possible two-year renewal to 30 November 2031. Enquiries had to be submitted by 28 September 2026 at 12:00 noon, and tenders by 9 October 2026 at 12:00 noon. The intended award decision date is 6 November 2026. Offers are evaluated on price at 45%, quality at 45% and social value at 10%. Economic and technical participation requirements apply.

This opportunity suits building maintenance and property-services contractors able to manage a varied corporate estate and deliver both planned work and responsive repairs. Relevant capability includes diagnosing building-fabric faults, achieving first-time fixes, carrying out minor alterations and installations, maintaining roofs and roof-safety equipment, and providing technical advice. Suppliers need the operational capacity to provide emergency response outside normal hours, including 24/7 attendance to make sites safe or resolve problems where possible. The broad trade scope favours businesses with in-house multi-trade teams or reliable specialist supply-chain coverage across carpentry, joinery, roofing, masonry, plastering, decorating, glazing, flooring, tiling, waterproofing, fencing and fire-prevention work. The requirement is explicitly suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, while bidders must meet the economic and technical conditions in the tender documents.
