UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Corporate Officer of the House of Commons in London, UK, has awarded a contract for the structural monitoring of the New Palace Yard (NPY) Carriage Gates. This contract spans 15 months and falls under the services category, specifically targeting business, professional and specialist services organisations. The tender was initiated using a direct procurement method under a 'below the threshold—without competition' procedure, adhering to the legal framework provided by the UKPGA 2023/54. The procurement stage is now in the award phase, as the contract has been signed with the supplier. The procurement process was completed as of 17 March 2026, with Plowman Craven Ltd being selected as the supplier, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in Harpenden, Hertfordshire.

This tender represents an opportunity for specialist engineering consultancies, particularly those offering structural monitoring services, to engage in public sector projects. Given the involvement of the central government as the contracting authority, working on such contracts offers potential exposure and credibility for companies in the industry. SMEs with expertise in monitoring and assessing infrastructure integrity, particularly those familiar with the regulations and standards applicable in central governmental projects, would find this tender particularly beneficial for their business growth. The involvement of Plowman Craven Ltd as the supplier highlights the attractiveness of such opportunities for firms specialising in niche professional services.
