Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Maintenance of Client Side Systems, 10 Floors, Victoria Street" was spearheaded by the Corporate Officer of the House of Commons, a central government authority in the United Kingdom. This contract pertains to the maintenance of client side systems for ten floors at Victoria Street, located in London (region UKI). The process followed the direct award procurement method and was completed with Vertex Services Group Limited as the supplier. The award status was still pending as of 9th June 2026, with the contract period scheduled from 22nd June 2026 to 8th June 2028. Additionally, the contract entails an option for extension, subject to alignment with the re-procurement of building owner arrangements.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for large-scale organisations specialising in repair and maintenance services, as the main procurement category falls under this industry. Given the central location in London and the high contract value of GBP 450,000, large service groups with experience in managing complex maintenance across multi-tenanted buildings would find this particularly advantageous. Furthermore, companies like Vertex, which are familiar with shared services and technical system integration, have a competitive edge due to the continuity and infrastructural coherence required for this project.

Notice Title

Maintenance of Client Side Systems, 10 Floors, Victoria Street

Notice Description

Maintenance of Client Side Systems, 10 Floors, Victoria Street - 2026

Procurement Information

The Authority has a sub-lease of 10 floors in a building on Victoria Street on an internal repairing insuring lease basis which imposes on the Authority responsibility to maintain and repair the interior parts of the demised premises whilst the Landlord is responsible for maintenance and repair of the common areas, shared M&E, exterior and structure of the building. To that end, the Landlord has a contract with building managers who have sub-contracted Vertex, following an open competition, to maintain the building including the main plant. In practise, the integral nature of the maintenance arrangements are such that there is no practical way for the Authority to meet its maintenance responsibilities as a tenant in a safe and integral manner and from a technical compatibility and interface perspective with the overall building systems by means other than via the Landlord's pre-existing maintenance contractor, Vertex. Splitting maintenance responsibility causes issues in terms of the demarcation of responsibility, and this is made even more difficult as the Authority does not occupy the entire building, As an example, while the radiators on each floor are the responsibility of the Authority, the boilers supplying the heat belongs to the Landlord and therefore cannot be separated. The main plant and back-end systems owned by the Landlord are demand led from the tenant floors, and there is no practical way of splitting the systems. Operationally it would be technically extremely challenging, and lead to disproportionate costs to employ a separate contractor to the Landlord due to problems with shared services such as heating and cooling due to split responsibility. Accordingly, paragraph 7 of Schedule 5 (additional or repeat goods, services or works) of the Procurement Act 2023 applies.
