Summary of the contracting process

Westminster City Council procured pre-construction services for a new street-cleansing vehicle depot at 61 Harewood Avenue, London, NW1 6PA. The requirement covers the first stage of a two-stage design-and-build project, delivered through a Pre-Construction Services Agreement. The appointed contractor is expected to support project and design preparation, including cost estimation, for the proposed depot. The wider project concerns facilities for street-cleansing vehicles, so relevant businesses are those able to contribute to the early design and development of a specialist operational depot. The contracting authority is Westminster City Council, a sub-central public authority. The procurement is categorised as services, with delivery in the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded following a competitive invitation-to-tender process using a below-threshold limited competition. T & B Contractors Limited was selected for the single lot. The award was made on 14 July 2026 and the contract was signed on that date. The contract period runs from 22 September 2026 to 9 February 2027. Its gross value is £156,764.17. This award covers the Pre-Construction Services Agreement only. Westminster City Council reserves discretion to award the main works contract under a later second-stage tender to the contractor appointed under this agreement. The process was evaluated through the competitive ITT, although the published outcome does not state the individual evaluation criteria.

This procurement indicates demand from Westminster City Council for specialist pre-construction support connected with a street-cleansing vehicle depot. Businesses best placed for comparable future requirements would be suitably qualified contractors with experience of two-stage design-and-build delivery, pre-construction services agreements, project and design preparation, and construction cost estimation. Credibility would depend on being able to coordinate early design development with the practical requirements of a vehicle depot and to support the transition from pre-construction into a potential main works package. The awarded supplier was a large contractor, indicating that the requirement was suited to an organisation able to provide established construction and design capability at this project scale. The opportunity also provides a clear route into consideration for associated main works where the authority exercises its discretion.
