Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, managed by The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London, involves a contract for the "Installation and maintenance library" project. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically focusing on repair and maintenance. Located in the City of London, the contract was awarded on 20th January 2026, following a direct procurement method below the competition threshold, reflecting a streamlined process without open competition. The contracted supplier is Library of Things Limited, an SME, signifying a collaboration within the local service industry. The contract commenced on 14th January 2026 and is set to end on 14th January 2028, addressing a public need in a sub-central government context.

This tender provides considerable opportunities for growth, especially for SMEs involved in the repair and maintenance services sector. As it employs a direct procurement method, businesses that can quickly respond and provide competitive, high-quality service offerings stand to gain. The focus on collaboration with SMEs like Library of Things highlights a preference for agile and innovative organisations capable of providing tailored solutions.
