Summary of the contracting process

Historic England commissioned planned preventative maintenance and reactive repair services for its London office at Cannon Bridge House. The requirement covers the upkeep and repair of building installations, including mechanical and electrical engineering services, alongside associated office-support services. The buying organisation is Historic England, a central government public authority, and the work is delivered at its Cannon Bridge House premises in London. The procurement is a services contract focused on maintaining the office’s building systems and responding to faults or repair needs. It would therefore be relevant to facilities-management, building-maintenance, mechanical and electrical engineering contractors able to provide both scheduled preventative work and reactive repairs for an occupied central London office environment.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold open competition. Gratte Brothers Building Services Maintenance Ltd was selected. The contract was signed on 17 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. Its value is £80,859.14 excluding VAT, or £90,030.97 including VAT. The original estimated tender value was £81,000 excluding VAT and £97,200 including VAT. The tender deadline was 30 June 2026 at 9:30am, and the enquiry deadline was 23 June 2026 at 9:30am. There was one lot. Evaluation placed 20% of the weighting on price and 80% on quality. Electronic submission was allowed, and the tender was below the applicable threshold.

This award shows Historic England’s demand for a combined planned-maintenance and reactive-repairs service at a central London office, rather than a single isolated repair project. Businesses considering future work with this buyer would need credible building-maintenance capability across scheduled preventative servicing and responsive fault resolution. Mechanical and electrical engineering capacity is directly relevant, as is the ability to support the wider operational needs of an office building. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist business as well as a larger facilities-management provider. The evaluation also shows that quality carried substantially more weight than price, so competitors would need to demonstrate robust service delivery, dependable response arrangements and experience maintaining building installations.
