UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Harrow has awarded a contract for the provision of specialist damp survey, investigation, and waterproofing services. This contract, titled "Damp Survey, Investigation and Waterproofing Services," falls under the services category and has been awarded to ESSEX & ANGLIA PRESERVATION LIMITED. The direct procurement method was chosen without competition, due to the specialist nature and continuity requirements of the project. The contract was signed on 6th July 2026, is set to run until 5th July 2027, and has a total value of £99,000. The work will be carried out in Harrow, UK, specifically within the housing stock managed by the Council.

This tender presents valuable business growth opportunities for companies specialising in building inspection and damp management services, especially those with the capability to offer niche expertise in waterproofing solutions. Companies with a strong track record in handling projects that require continuity and in-depth knowledge of specific property conditions would be well-suited to compete in similar tenders in the future. The nature of this contract highlights the importance of developing specialised skills and knowledge in maintaining long-term client relationships, as demonstrated by ESSEX & ANGLIA PRESERVATION LIMITED's decade-long collaboration with the Council.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Damp Survey, Investigation and Waterproofing Services

Notice Description

The Council has awarded a contract to Essex & Anglia Preservation Ltd for the provision of specialist damp diagnosis, surveying and waterproofing services across the Council's housing stock. The appointment has been made due to exceptional operational circumstances and the need to maintain continuity of service. Essex & Anglia Preservation Ltd has provided these specialist services to the Council for approximately ten years and has developed extensive knowledge of the Council's housing stock, property conditions, and internal operational processes. The services required are highly specialist in nature and include the diagnosis of damp and moisture-related defects, intrusive property investigations, condition surveys, specification of remedial works, and waterproofing solutions. These requirements necessitate specialist expertise that falls outside the scope of the Council's day-to-day repairs and maintenance contractors. The Council considers continuity of service to be critical in ensuring the timely resolution of existing damp and water ingress cases. Changing providers at this stage would be likely to result in duplication of surveys, loss of property-specific knowledge, delays to remediation programmes, and disruption to tenants.
