UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Corporate Officer of the House of Commons commissioned intrusive surveys within the moat lightwell of Richmond House in London. The work supports a later project to stabilise the retaining wall and stepped entrance to the moat, allowing new railings to be installed on top of the wall along Whitehall and the Richmond House forecourt. This is a construction and specialist building-survey requirement, involving investigation of an existing retaining structure in a constrained heritage and parliamentary estate setting. The buyer is a central government public authority responsible for the House of Commons estate. Suppliers relevant to this requirement include firms able to plan and carry out intrusive surveys, assess existing masonry or structural conditions, and provide findings that can inform subsequent stabilisation and access or railing works.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. Saltash Enterprises Ltd was selected for the single lot. The award was dated 29 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 29 July 2026 to 28 October 2026. Its value is £65,144.36 excluding VAT, or £78,173.23 including VAT. The contract is active. The requirement was evaluated and awarded without a competitive tender, under the direct-award route used for below-threshold work. The selected supplier is a large construction business. The procurement covers construction work associated with the intrusive surveys, with delivery at Richmond House, Whitehall and the Richmond House forecourt in London. No separate award values apply.

This procurement indicates demand from the House of Commons estate for specialist investigation of existing retaining structures before stabilisation works. A credible competitor for similar requirements would need practical experience of intrusive surveying in confined spaces, working around a moat lightwell and stepped entrance, and assessing the condition and construction of retaining walls. It would also need to produce reliable technical findings that can support later structural design, stabilisation and installation of railings. Relevant capability includes safe work planning, site investigation, construction-sector delivery and coordination with works on an operational parliamentary estate. Experience of surveying existing masonry or structural fabric, managing access constraints and translating survey results into usable information for follow-on construction would strengthen a supplier’s position when this buyer next requires comparable work.
