Summary of the contracting process

The City of London is seeking a consultant to design future estate capital works at Southbank. The work covers concrete repairs, roof-covering replacement and redecoration of previously painted communal areas, excluding Pakeman House, Stopher House and Sumner Buildings, where redecoration was completed in 2024. Building-services and communal-system elements include landlord lighting and power, a communal digital integrated reception system, door entry and access control, lightning protection, CCTV and mechanical ventilation. The consultant will review existing condition surveys and technical investigations, check earlier recommendations where appropriate, identify any further investigations needed and develop coordinated design proposals. This is construction and design consultancy work. The delivery location is in the United Kingdom; the notice does not identify a more specific place for the estate.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. There is one lot, with submissions accepted electronically in English. The enquiry deadline set was 19 October 2026 at 12:00 UK time, and the submission deadline was 28 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC (13:00 UK time). The planned contract period runs from 4 January 2027 to 31 January 2031. The estimated value is £230,000 excluding VAT (£276,000 including VAT). Evaluation is weighted 45% technical, 40% commercial and 15% responsible procurement. Economic and technical selection criteria apply; the detailed requirements and financial terms are referred to in the procurement information pack. The award decision period was scheduled to end on 4 January 2027.

This requirement is suited to building and engineering consultancies able to combine review of existing survey evidence with technical design across multiple building fabric and landlord-services disciplines. Suppliers should be capable of validating recommendations on concrete repairs and roof replacement, identifying when additional investigation is necessary, and coordinating proposals across electrical systems, access control, CCTV, lightning protection and mechanical ventilation. The scope also calls for consideration of communal areas and an integrated reception system, alongside design of future capital works rather than delivery of construction itself. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises are identified as suitable. Technical quality carries the greatest evaluation weight, so bidders will need to demonstrate relevant design capability and a credible approach to responsible procurement as well as commercial competitiveness.
