Summary of the contracting process

Uttlesford District Council procured remedial and refurbishment works to the glazed atrium above the main entrance at its London Road offices in Saffron Walden, linking a Grade II-listed building with an adjoining office block. The requirement covered a principal contractor or glazing specialist to design, supply, install and warrant remedial works to the existing atrium glazing while keeping the building operational. The core works involved removing and disposing of 32 defective glazing units and supplying and installing 32 replacements, with associated access, safety, cleaning, sealing, weatherproofing and reporting. Separately priced options covered annual planned preventative maintenance, replacement of 67 units, and a fuller package replacing 131 units with heavier lifting and access equipment. This is construction work focused on specialist glazing and window installation.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Evander Glazing and Locks Limited on 4 August 2026. Uttlesford District Council used a below-threshold open competition, with six final-stage bids, all from SMEs. The tender deadline was 13 July 2026 at 12:00, and enquiries closed on 8 July 2026 at 12:00. The single lot had a gross estimated value of £160,000. The award value was £180,000 gross. The awarded contract period runs from 31 August 2026 to 31 December 2026; the tender lot period was 24 August to 14 December 2026. Evaluation weighted price at 60%, quality at 35% and social value at 5%. Chelmsford City Council supported procurement activity for Uttlesford District Council.

This award demonstrates demand from Uttlesford District Council for specialist glazing contractors able to manage remedial work on an occupied public building. A credible future supplier would need to survey and rectify defective atrium glazing, remove and install replacement units, and provide design responsibility, warranties, sealing, weatherproofing, cleaning and photographic or technical reporting. Capability to plan safe access around an operational site is important, including suitable lifting and access equipment for larger replacement packages. Firms offering planned preventative maintenance alongside replacement works may be well placed for the full requirement. The competition attracted six SME bids, indicating that the work can be pursued by smaller specialist businesses with the necessary technical, safety and delivery capacity, and an ability to demonstrate quality and social value.
