UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The City of London Corporation procured structural concrete investigation services for the Barbican Renewal Programme. The requirement covers surveying services focused on investigating structural concrete, supporting the assessment and renewal of the Barbican estate in London. The buying organisation is The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London, commonly known as the City of London Corporation. The awarded supplier, Sandberg LLP, is a London-based small and medium-sized enterprise. The work is associated with the Barbican site and the wider renewal programme, making this relevant to firms providing structural surveys, concrete investigations, building diagnostics or related engineering support for major public or heritage assets.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The City of London Corporation used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. One lot was completed and awarded to Sandberg LLP. The award is active. The contract was signed on 25 March 2026, runs from 1 April 2026 to 30 June 2026, and has an awarded value of £50,682 excluding VAT, or £60,818.40 including VAT. The award date is not recorded separately. The evaluation basis is therefore the buyer’s direct-award decision rather than a competitive scoring exercise. The requirement was classified as surveying services under CPV 71355000.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement from the City of London Corporation for specialist investigation of structural concrete within a complex renewal programme. It is most relevant to firms with practical capability in structural concrete surveys, condition investigation, building diagnostics and the production of evidence that can inform repair, renewal or asset-management decisions. A credible future competitor would need to show relevant experience on substantial or technically sensitive buildings, competent survey personnel and the ability to deliver clear, reliable findings for a public-sector client. Sandberg LLP’s status as an SME also indicates that this type of specialist service can be delivered by a focused smaller consultancy, rather than only by a large multidisciplinary contractor.
