UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Historic England is procuring construction works to refurbish its Skeleton Preparation Building, also known as the Skel Prep building. The project covers building alteration and refurbishment, including associated building installation and electrical installation works. The work is to be delivered in accordance with a design developed by Pick Everard under contract C/REF 00001014. This is a works opportunity for a suitably qualified construction company able to undertake a refurbishment project involving alterations to an existing specialist building and the installation elements needed to complete it. Historic England, a central government public authority, is the buying organisation. The procurement relates to one defined package of construction works.

The process has reached tender: Historic England invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Suppliers could submit bids electronically. Questions had to be submitted by 11 August 2026 at 09:30, and offers were due by 14 August 2026 at 09:30. The planned contract period runs from 11 September 2026 to 22 January 2027, with a possible one-week renewal extending the maximum period to 29 January 2027. The estimated value is £232,500 excluding VAT, or £279,000 including VAT. Award is based on price weighted at 40% and quality at 60%. The procurement is divided into one lot. The contract includes a single construction refurbishment package.

This opportunity suits an established construction company with the qualifications and practical capability to deliver refurbishment and alteration works to an existing building. Relevant expertise includes building installation and electrical installation work, alongside general construction and overhaul or refurbishment work. Suppliers should be able to interpret and build to the design prepared by Pick Everard, coordinate the different construction and installation activities, and complete the works within the planned delivery period. The requirement is likely to suit contractors experienced in managing a defined refurbishment package rather than suppliers offering only standalone materials or isolated services. Companies with a suitably qualified construction team and experience delivering comparable building alteration and refurbishment projects are best placed to compete.
