Summary of the contracting process

The City of London is buying engineering and construction works for Section 10 inspections of reservoirs in Epping Forest. The procurement title identifies the sites as Epping Forest Reservoirs, and the item classification describes engineering works and construction works. The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London is the buyer. The stated scope also refers to increasing an existing purchase order for the inspection work. The requirement is therefore relevant to suppliers delivering reservoir inspection-related engineering or construction work, rather than general construction alone.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Stillwater Associates Ltd. The route was a direct award below threshold without competition. The contract was signed on 30 August 2025 and runs from 1 September 2025 to 1 August 2027. Its recorded contract value is £176,220 gross. The procurement description says the purchase order was increased by an additional £11,600, making a total order of £21,600; these figures differ from the recorded contract value. There was one lot, marked complete. The award record gives no separate award date or award value, and no evaluation criteria are stated.

This award shows that the City of London buys reservoir inspection-related engineering and construction works for Epping Forest sites, and that the requirement has been handled as a direct award without competition. A credible future supplier would need to demonstrate relevant capability in carrying out Section 10 reservoir inspections and delivering any associated engineering or construction work. Experience on reservoir assets and the ability to work to the inspection requirements would be directly relevant. The award identifies Stillwater Associates Ltd as the selected supplier, but provides no specific technical standards, accreditations, staffing levels or capacity requirements. Suppliers with evidence of comparable reservoir inspection work would be best placed to make a case when this buyer next needs the same requirement.
