Summary of the contracting process

Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council procured minor building works and general building maintenance for its public buildings, excluding council housing. The requirement covers miscellaneous repairs and minor works, together with all associated trades needed to complete them. Delivery is across the administrative area of Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council, centred on Welwyn Garden City and surrounding council properties. The appointed contractor is required to provide one operative working full time on council property under the Council’s instructions. This is a works contract, with siteworks included within its scope. It is relevant to contractors able to manage varied building maintenance tasks across a public-sector property portfolio and coordinate ancillary trades as required.

The procurement has been completed through a below-threshold open competition. The tender closed on 19 June 2026, following an enquiry deadline of 9 June 2026. Kirkman & Jourdain Ltd was awarded the single lot, and the contract was signed on 9 September 2026. The active contract runs from 28 October 2026 to 27 October 2029, with a one-year renewal option extending the maximum period to 27 October 2030. The contract value is £500,000 excluding VAT and £600,000 including VAT. Evaluation gave 40% weighting to price and 60% to quality, with detailed conditions of participation and criteria set out in the tender documents.

This award indicates sustained demand from Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council for a contractor that can deliver responsive minor building works and general maintenance across public buildings, rather than council housing. A credible competitor would need broad in-house building capability, access to reliable ancillary trades and the capacity to provide one operative full time on council property. The requirement also calls for disciplined delivery under council instruction and the ability to manage work across the Council’s administrative area. TUPE applies to the operative role, so bidders considering a future opportunity would need to assess workforce-transfer obligations and maintain continuity of service. Quality carried greater evaluation weight than price, favouring evidence of dependable methods, staffing and service delivery.
