Located in London, UK, the organisation enlisted the expertise of RAAM Construction Limited, a SME based in Enfield, to conduct inspection, testing, and necessary repairs of Lightning Protection Systems across its residential properties. This procurement was conducted through an open procedure, showcasing a competitive and transparent process that commenced with a tender notice in late 2025, progressed through a detailed evaluation period, and was followed by an award in May 2026. The contract is valued at approximately £3.7 million, with operations set to commence on 1st June 2026, and extend over five years with potential extensions based on performance evaluations. This contract presents significant opportunities for growth, especially for businesses specialising in repair and maintenance services or those with expertise in lightning protection equipment. RAAM Construction Limited's successful bid demonstrates the potential for SMEs to secure substantial government contracts through open procedures. The contract will likely attract businesses with robust capabilities in delivering high-quality, compliance-driven maintenance services, offering both immediate and extended opportunities for expansion within this industry segment. Businesses considering venturing into similar procurement processes could benefit from understanding the evaluation criteria emphasising cost-effectiveness alongside service quality and performance in public tenders. ## Notice Inspection, testing and repairs of Lightning Protection Systems, including the installation of new Lightning Protection Systems where required following a lightning strike risk assessment, as required following a fire risk assessment. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: There is the option to extend for a further 5 years with a staggered approach.
