UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The British Library Board procured repair works to the Jumbrellas on the piazza at its St Pancras site in London. The requirement is a facilities maintenance service focused on repairing existing external structures, rather than supplying new equipment or carrying out general construction. The procurement falls within repair and maintenance services (CPV 50000000). The British Library Board is a central government public authority and the buyer for this work. Delivery was associated with the British Library’s St Pancras premises, at 96 Euston Road, London NW1 2DB. This opportunity is relevant to contractors with practical experience inspecting, repairing and maintaining Jumbrellas or comparable outdoor structures, including businesses able to work safely at an occupied public cultural site.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to SEWFINE EXTERIORS LIMITED, an SME. The contract was signed on 8 July 2026 and runs from 8 July 2026 to 8 August 2026. Its value is £16,400 excluding VAT, or £19,680 including VAT. The award covers the repair and maintenance service for the Jumbrellas on the piazza at the British Library’s St Pancras site. The tender used a limited procurement method rather than an open competition. The award is recorded as active and the contract is also active. The published outcome therefore identifies both the selected supplier and the agreed short-term delivery period.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear indication of the British Library Board’s need for specialist maintenance of outdoor structures at its St Pancras premises. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable experience diagnosing and completing repairs to Jumbrellas or similar large external installations, with the practical skills to deliver works safely and to an appropriate standard. Relevant firms are likely to be established repair, maintenance or specialist exterior-work contractors, including SMEs able to manage a focused assignment for a public authority. Familiarity with working at a busy cultural or public-facing site would strengthen a supplier’s position, alongside suitable site-management, health-and-safety and quality-control arrangements.
