UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London involves consultancy services focusing on evacuation strategies at the Barbican. The contract, categorised under safety consultancy services, falls within the services industry and specifically the sub-category of public authority regulated by sub-central government. This contract, with a gross value of £82,200, commenced on 29th September 2025 and is set to conclude on 31st December 2025, with a possible extension to 31st January 2026. The procurement employed a direct method below the threshold, bypassing competitive tendering. Contracts were awarded as of 8th December 2025, with Greenwich University Enterprises Limited serving as the supplier, thus marking the completion stage of the procurement.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for firms adept in safety consultancy services. Companies with expertise in evacuation strategy planning may find this contract a perfect match. The focus on direct procurement methods suggests opportunities for businesses with specific niche expertise to collaborate closely with government entities like the City of London. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), such as Greenwich University Enterprises Limited, which successfully secured the contract, demonstrate that smaller firms with specialised capabilities can tackle public sector projects effectively and expand their reach within sub-central government contracts.
