Summary of the contracting process

London Borough of Bromley procured construction works for the Bromley Archive and Museum Store. The main contractor’s scope covers demolition and construction of a dedicated archives and museum storage facility. This is a public-sector building project delivered in the London Borough of Bromley area, relevant to contractors able to undertake demolition, new-build construction and the associated specialist requirements of an archive and museum store. The procurement is classified as construction work. The requirement concerns the complete main-contract works rather than a separate supply of museum equipment or archive services. Its purpose is to provide the council with purpose-built storage accommodation for archive and museum collections, with site activity and construction management forming the core of the work.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an above-threshold open procedure. One lot was evaluated with 60% allocated to cost and 40% to quality: experience, organisation and team management; site logistics and constraints; methodology, quality assurance and specialist requirements; risk management; value engineering; and additional social value. Fifteen bids were received, with 12 reaching the final stage. The tender deadline was 12 December 2025 at 12 noon, and the award decision period ended on 23 February 2026. LONGLEY GROUP LIMITED was awarded the contract on 27 February 2026 for £3,036,952.82 excluding VAT (£3,644,343.38 including VAT). The award contract period was 27 March 2026 to 27 March 2027; the signed contract runs from 16 April 2026 to 27 March 2027. A priced option covers an external unisex WC and canopy.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Bromley for a substantial, time-limited construction project combining demolition, building works and specialist delivery planning for an archive and museum store. The opportunity was suitable for SMEs, and all 12 final-stage bids came from SMEs, indicating that the requirement was accessible to established smaller contractors as well as larger firms. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable experience on comparable construction projects, a well-organised team and robust management arrangements. It would also need to show effective planning for site logistics and constraints, a sound methodology and quality-assurance approach, and practical risk management. Strong value-engineering proposals and measurable additional social value would support competitiveness, alongside the capacity to deliver the optional external WC and canopy.
