Summary of the contracting process

Watford Borough Council is procuring wayfinding and functional signage for its Grade II listed Town Hall in Watford. The building is being refurbished as a community and civic hub, with its heritage retained and celebrated. The requirement covers signage for multi-functional areas, corridors, lifts and stairs, doors and windows, customer booths, meeting rooms and toilet facilities. The work combines sourcing, supply and installation of signs for use throughout the building. This is a signage supply and installation opportunity, rather than a general refurbishment contract.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition. The deadline for questions was 6 November 2026 at 5pm, and the submission deadline was 16 November 2026 at 11am. The contract period is 1 December 2026 to 26 February 2027, with installation planned during February 2027. The estimated value is £50,000 excluding VAT (£60,000 including VAT). There is one lot, and the award will be based on quality, weighted at 55%, and price, weighted at 45%. Bids may be submitted electronically through the council’s eSourcing portal.

This requirement suits signage businesses able to source, supply and install wayfinding and functional signs across a varied civic building. Suppliers should be equipped to address multiple types of spaces and fittings, including corridors, lifts and stairs, doors, windows, customer booths, meeting rooms and toilets. The project is for a Grade II listed building undergoing refurbishment, so experience delivering signage that works in a heritage setting and a modern community and civic hub is relevant. The council identifies the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. The work is a single, defined signage package, rather than a wider building refurbishment.
