Summary of the contracting process

The National Portrait Gallery, based in London, initiated a procurement process for a significant decarbonisation project aimed at enhancing its energy efficiency and sustainability. This open competition, valued at £4,800,000 gross, falls under the 'works' category and was organised below the threshold limit. Key dates included the tender period, which closed on 26th November 2025, and the envisaged contract period running from 5th January 2026 to 31st March 2028. The Gallery sought an innovative principal contractor to deliver environmentally responsible infrastructure improvements, representing the project's focus on decarbonisation. The procurement stage has now been completed, with the contract awarded to Capri Mechanical Services Ltd as of 22nd December 2025.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses operating within the construction and engineering sectors, particularly those specialising in sustainable building practices and energy efficiency upgrades. The emphasis on quality and social value, alongside pricing criteria, highlights the procurement's suitability for established firms experienced in handling large-scale projects with a commitment to reducing carbon footprints. Companies offering a blend of engineering design and electrical installation services for arts and cultural buildings, especially those qualified to compete in open competitions, are well-positioned to leverage such opportunities to drive business growth.
