Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea has initiated a public procurement process for the refurbishment of Hanwell Chapel, aimed at addressing structural issues such as water ingress and damp affecting this Grade II listed building. The procurement falls within the 'overhaul and refurbishment' industry category and is conducted via an open, below-threshold competition. The tender process was completed, and PIERRA Limited was selected as the supplier, with a recent contract award made on 14 April 2026. The refurbishment work focuses on roof repairs, stonework restoration, replacing rainwater goods, and installing new fencing around the catacombs. The contract period is scheduled from 24 April 2026 to 23 August 2026, contingent on pending Planning and Listed Building Consents. The procurement is managed by the Royal Borough's Procurement Team, located in London, United Kingdom.

This tender presents a notable opportunity for contractors specialising in refurbishment work, particularly those experienced with heritage buildings, to engage with a high-profile public authority such as the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. SMEs are encouraged to participate in similar open competitions, as demonstrated by the fact that PIERRA Limited, a small to medium enterprise, was able to secure the contract. Businesses that have expertise in building restoration and the requisite qualifications for managing listed buildings would find this type of contract conducive to expanding their portfolio and enhancing their reputation within the public sector. The successful bidder demonstrated competence in quality and pricing, which were key evaluation criteria in the procurement process.

Notice Title

Hanwell Chapel Refurbishment Works

Notice Description

The Council is seeking a suitably qualified Contractor to complete the external refurbishment works to Hanwell Chapel, a grade II listed building. The works include roof repairs to the vestry areas (including joist replacement), exterior stonework repairs, replacement rainwater goods and new fencing to the catacombs area. The work is required as the building is currently subject to water ingress and damp, without these works both the interior and exterior of the building will continue to deteriorate and result in more serious damage. The fencing is required to protect the structural integrity of the catacombs. The Planning and Listed Building consent for the works has been applied for, and decision is pending. The award of contract is subject to the necessary Planning and Listed Building Consent being approved.
