Summary of the contracting process

The City of London Corporation procured a principal contractor framework for cyclical and condition-led building works at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama. The scope covers refurbishment of the reception area, local condition and layout improvements, window renewal or overhaul, potential roof repairs, classroom refurbishments, toilet upgrades, redecoration, and renewal of flooring and ceilings. It also includes general mechanical and electrical upgrades, including wiring, lighting, heating and ventilation, to maintain building compliance and performance. This is construction work for school buildings (CPV 45214200), delivered in London. The framework is for a single principal contractor, with individual work packages issued when required through formal requests for quotation.

The procurement is complete and was run as an open procedure for a closed, single-supplier framework without reopening competition. Four valid bids were received, including three from SMEs. Team Projects Limited was awarded the contract on 9 June 2026 for £10,000,000 excluding VAT (£12,000,000 including VAT). The awarded period is 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2030, while the signed contract runs from 23 July 2026 to 22 July 2030. The requirement was evaluated on technical quality (45%), responsible procurement covering climate action and social value (15%), and commercial responses based on lump sums (40%). The lot was identified as suitable for SMEs, with economic and technical selection criteria.

This opportunity indicates demand from the City of London Corporation for a principal contractor able to manage varied school-building refurbishment and planned maintenance works through a controlled framework. A credible competitor would need relevant construction experience and case studies, a robust mobilisation and delivery programme, and sufficient workforce and supply-chain capacity for building, mechanical and electrical activities. Strong contract management, performance monitoring, client care and health and safety controls would be important, alongside the ability to maintain asset registers, manage orders and meetings, control variations, deliver work on time, and provide commissioning, operation and maintenance information. Evidence of quality control and defects management would support credibility, as would practical climate action and social value commitments.
