Summary of the contracting process

Glasgow City Council, acting as administering authority for the Strathclyde Pension Fund, procured a full refurbishment of eight light industrial units at Admiral Hyson Industrial Estate, Admiral Hyson Road, London SE16. DTZ Investors managed the procurement on the Council’s behalf, and the successful contractor entered into the works contract with the Council. The project covered internal and external refurbishment, including a replacement external yard and underground drainage. The wider scope included new insulated roofing, cladding, rooflights and photovoltaic panels; replacement doors and windows; internal finishes, warehouse floor coating, offices, toilets, showers and mezzanines; and new electrical, fire alarm, plumbing, ventilation, heating and air-conditioning systems. The works also required coordination with statutory bodies and utility providers. The planned contract form was the JCT Design & Build Contract 2025.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to 7Formation. The contract was signed on 5 October 2026 and is active. The contract value is £5,212,273.63; the original estimated procurement value was £4,400,000. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 1 March 2027. This was a restricted procedure, with a shortlist of five candidates intended for the second stage; three bids were received. Award evaluation weighted price at 70% and quality at 30%. The procurement was organised as one lot. The selection requirements included Avetta supplier-system registration, annual turnover of £13 million for each of the previous three financial years, specified credit-risk standing and required insurance cover. Bidders also had to provide three relevant case studies from the previous five years demonstrating comparable industrial refurbishment, yard, building-services and challenging-site experience.

For contractors pursuing similar work for Glasgow City Council and the Strathclyde Pension Fund, this award indicates demand for substantial, integrated refurbishment of existing industrial property, rather than a single trade package. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate delivery of industrial-unit upgrades alongside major external-yard and drainage works, including coordination of building fabric, structural, electrical, mechanical and plumbing elements. Relevant evidence would include completed projects involving roof and cladding replacement, mezzanines, doors and windows, service yards with concrete slabs on piled foundations, and service trenching, preferably on constrained urban or logistically difficult sites. The buyer’s requirements also favour contractors with the financial capacity to meet the stated turnover and credit checks, appropriate insurance, and readiness to register with Avetta. Quality carried a significant share of the evaluation, although price was the larger factor.
