Summary of the contracting process

Uttlesford District Council procured atrium replacement and remedial works at its London Road offices in Saffron Walden, with procurement support from Chelmsford City Council. The requirement covered the glazed atrium over the main entrance linking the Grade II Saffron Walden building to the adjacent office block. A principal contractor or glazing specialist was required to design, supply, install and warrant remedial works while keeping the building operational. The core front-elevation work 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, or a fuller package replacing 131 units with heavier lifting equipment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold open competition. The enquiry deadline was 8 July 2026 at noon and the tender deadline was 13 July 2026 at noon. Six bids reached the final stage, all from SMEs. The single lot had an estimated gross value of £160,000 and was evaluated on price at 60%, quality at 35% and social value at 5%. Evander Glazing and Locks Limited was awarded the work on 4 August 2026 for £180,000 gross. The award contract period was 31 August to 31 December 2026. The signed active contract records a gross value of £138,000, was signed on 7 September 2026, and runs from 21 September to 31 December 2026.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Uttlesford District Council for specialist glazing contractors able to undertake remedial work in an occupied public building. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need experience designing, supplying, installing and warranting replacement atrium or façade glazing, including safe removal and disposal of defective units. Capability in access planning, lifting operations, weatherproofing, sealing, cleaning, inspection, torque testing and photographic reporting would be relevant. The wider options indicate that suppliers may need capacity for both planned maintenance and larger replacement packages, including crane, MEWP and under-hook suction-lifter operations. Strong quality delivery, practical arrangements for keeping premises operational and a demonstrable social-value offer would support competitiveness, alongside sufficient SME-scale delivery capacity.
