Summary of the contracting process

The City of London has awarded a contract for public statuary cleaning and repairs to Rupert Harris Conservation Ltd. This procurement involves extensive conservation work, including cleaning, waxing, and reactive maintenance of statuary located in the City of London, Hampstead Heath, Highgate Wood, Epping Forest, and West Ham Park. The procurement process began with an open procedure initiated by The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London, classified as a public authority under sub-central government. The contract is valued at £319,140.15 for services aimed at the preservation of historical sites and buildings. The contract period starts on 1 April 2026 and concludes on 31 March 2031.

For businesses, this contract represents significant opportunities in the heritage conservation industry, with an emphasis on preserving historical structures. Given the demand for technical expertise in conservation and maintenance, smaller enterprises specialising in preservation services could find this opportunity fitting. With the procurement facilitated through the City of London Corporation Sourcing & Contracts Portal, the tendering process encourages participation from SMEs under an open procedure, ensuring equal opportunities for competitive bids. This contract sets the stage for service delivery over a five-year period, aligned with responsible procurement practices.
