Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Lewisham commissioned repair and strengthening works to the boundary wall at Fairlawn Primary School. The scope includes repairing and replacing damaged sections of the existing wall. This is a construction works requirement focused on masonry and bricklaying, including the physical strengthening of an existing boundary structure. The work is at Fairlawn Primary School in the London Borough of Lewisham. It would suit contractors able to carry out brickwork repairs, replacement masonry and associated strengthening works in a school environment, with the capability to manage a defined site-based repair project for a public-sector client.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 13 July 2026 to LILSTONE LIMITED. The award value is £191,572.79 excluding VAT and £229,887.35 including VAT. The contract period runs from 20 August 2026 to 31 August 2026. It was a below-threshold limited competition rather than an open tender, and the requirement was divided into one lot. Five bids were received, with three reaching the final stage; all three final-stage bidders were SMEs. The award is recorded as active. Evaluation resulted in selection of LILSTONE LIMITED for the full boundary wall repair and strengthening requirement.

This award shows a clear requirement for specialist building contractors able to repair and replace damaged brickwork and strengthen existing boundary walls for a London borough school. A credible future supplier would need practical masonry and bricklaying expertise, experience assessing defects in existing walls, and the capacity to complete focused works safely within an occupied education setting. The competition attracted five bids and three final-stage bidders, all of them SMEs, indicating that the requirement was accessible to smaller construction businesses as well as larger contractors. Suppliers with relevant public-sector or school-site delivery experience, reliable site management, and the ability to undertake defined repair projects through a limited competition route would be well placed when this type of requirement returns.
