UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The recent contracting process by The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London involves a service award for a "Ground utilities survey plus CCTV drainage survey" at the City of London Freemen's School (CLFS). This procurement falls under the surveying services category and was initiated as a limited competition due to it being below the threshold. The procurement process culminated in an award on the 16th of July, 2026, following the contract signature date on the 8th of July, 2026. The contract period is scheduled between the 15th of July and the 12th of August, 2026. The headquarters of the buying organisation is in the City of London, with contact facilitated through Blake Summers.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialised in utility surveying and drainage inspections. It is particularly well-suited for businesses that are capable of providing specialised services within the confines of limited competition, as exemplified by the award to Plowman Craven Limited, a large supplier. The project scope offers potential for further contracts with public authorities, enhancing the successful bidder's portfolio in the public infrastructure sector. Companies with expertise in surveying services, especially those that can offer detailed beneath-surface evaluations complemented by modern technology like CCTV, would find this contract to be a valuable addition to their business development strategy.
