Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Islington has completed a procurement process titled "2526-0275 Community Equipment Rails Installation," focusing on the works category within the broader industry of fencing, railing, and safety equipment installation. The procurement involved the direct method and was conducted without competition due to being below threshold. The project entails the supply and installation of rails in residents' homes across various regions of the United Kingdom, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK. Key dates include the contract signing on 18th September 2025 and a performance period from 19th September 2025 to 19th December 2025, with potential extensions available. The contract, valued at £60,960 net (£73,152 gross), has been awarded to MRS Independent Living Ltd.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the supply and installation of safety equipment, particularly those specialising in residential projects within the public sector. Given that the procurement was completed without competition, companies familiar with direct procurement processes may find similar opportunities advantageous. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), such as MRS Independent Living Ltd, who focus on supplying community-level services in various UK regions, are well-positioned to target similar opportunities for business growth and expansion. Companies with capabilities in quick deployment and scalable project execution are likely to thrive in such tenders.
