Summary of the contracting process

Historic England commissioned a main contractor to fit out office accommodation on the fourth floor of Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings in Shrewsbury. The works were to deliver a Category A office fit-out in accordance with the project’s design information, specifications and drawings. The scope covers the supply and installation of information management and technology infrastructure, mechanical and electrical services, and floor finishes. It also includes two kitchen areas, compartmentalisation of the floorplate into functional office zones, and the construction and installation of two glazed meeting rooms. This is a construction and refurbishment requirement, classified under CPV 45453100 for refurbishment work. The procurement covered one complete package of works for the Historic England site.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to ICON PROJECTS LTD, an SME. It used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 6 August 2026 and has a stated delivery period from 12 August 2026 to 31 October 2026. The awarded value is £491,122 excluding VAT, or £589,346.40 including VAT. One lot was awarded as a single package. The successful supplier is responsible for the full office fit-out works at Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings. The procurement was evaluated through the limited competition process under the stated legal basis, with the detailed design, specification and drawing information forming the technical basis for the required works.

This award demonstrates demand from Historic England for a capable principal contractor to deliver office refurbishment within a historic site, coordinating several construction disciplines as one package. A credible future competitor would need practical experience of Category A office fit-outs, refurbishment works and managing delivery against detailed drawings and specifications. Relevant capability includes coordinating mechanical and electrical services, information technology infrastructure, floor finishes, glazed meeting rooms, kitchen installations and internal partitioning. The requirement also suits an SME with sufficient project management, site supervision and subcontractor capacity to control multiple specialist workstreams and complete them to a defined programme. Experience working sensitively in heritage or complex existing buildings would strengthen a supplier’s position for comparable Historic England requirements.
