Summary of the contracting process

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is seeking refurbishment works at its South Mimms site in South Mimms. The project covers the staff restaurant, servery and associated kitchen facilities, creating a modern, functional catering environment. The supplier is responsible for coordinating, supplying, installing and commissioning the works, and for maintaining health and safety, quality and project management standards throughout delivery. This is building refurbishment work (CPV 45453100). The work is for MHRA’s staff catering facilities; the South Mimms site is the delivery location.

MHRA invited offers through an open competition under a below-threshold procedure. The process reached the tender stage. This is a single-lot procurement. The buyer set 6 November 2026 at 10:00 UTC as the deadline for enquiries and 13 November 2026 at 10:00 UTC as the deadline for submissions. The contract period runs from 14 December 2026 to 31 March 2027. The estimated value is £235,000 excluding VAT (£282,000 including VAT). Evaluation is weighted 70% on the technical envelope and 30% on the commercial envelope. Electronic submission is allowed, with participation through the Atamis e-sourcing portal.

The requirement suits small and medium-sized businesses, as the lot is identified as suitable for SMEs. It is relevant to refurbishment contractors with the capability to coordinate and deliver work across a staff restaurant, servery and kitchen, including the supply, installation and commissioning of the necessary works. Suppliers should be able to manage quality and health and safety while maintaining effective project management across the refurbishment. The technical submission carries greater evaluation weight than the commercial submission, so bidders should be able to demonstrate a strong technical approach as well as competitive pricing. The project requires delivery of a complete, functional catering environment rather than a single isolated item of equipment.
