## Summary

The Sovereign Network Group is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for the refurbishment of dilapidated residential properties aimed for disposal across London and Hertfordshire. The process, classified under the industry category of construction and refurbishment works, has been initiated through a preliminary market engagement notice, with a key deadline for document submission set for 8th May 2026. The buying organisation, based in Basingstoke, is exploring options for enhancing property conditions to maximise capital receipts. This entails potentially appointing a Managing Contractor to oversee works primarily in North and West London, with particular focus on the London Borough of Brent and extending into Hertfordshire.

This procurement offers a substantial opportunity for businesses specialised in construction and refurbishment, particularly those adept at handling Victorian residential properties. Companies, especially SMEs, with expertise in project management, building services, and compliance may benefit from engaging in this tender. Leveraging niche skills in Victorian-era property conversions can prove advantageous, particularly for businesses capable of scaling operations for long-term maintenance and delivering efficiency in refurbishment. The proposed model, involving sub-contractors, invites businesses with capability in managing collaborative ventures and distributing risk among partners to explore prospects in this transformative project.

## Notice

SNG is exploring options for the refurbishment of selected dilapidated residential properties prior to disposal on the open market across London and Hertfordshire. The objective is to improve property condition, maximise capital receipts, and achieve efficiencies through a scalable delivery model. An emerging option under consideration is the appointment of a Managing Contractor to oversee refurbishment works, with specialist works delivered by sub-contractors. This PME is intended to test the commercial and contractual viability of such approaches and to understand how risk, responsibility, and liability are commonly allocated within the market. The geographical scope of the anticipated works is relatively broad, with primary activity expected across North and West London and surrounding areas. The highest concentration of properties is currently anticipated within the London Borough of Brent, with additional activity likely in Westminster and Barnet. Coverage may also extend north into East Hertfordshire, alongside smaller volumes of work across other London boroughs where suitable opportunities arise. In terms of property type, the portfolio is expected to be predominantly Victorian residential stock, particularly Victorian house-to-flat conversions and subdivided Victorian houses. These properties typically originate as single-family dwellings that have been converted into multiple self-contained flats. They may retain period features and commonly present considerations relating to layout, structure, building services, fire safety, regulatory compliance, and long-term maintenance. While there may be scope for other residential property types to be included, Victorian properties are currently expected to form the core of the portfolio due to their prevalence within the target areas and the specific technical and compliance considerations they present. This description is indicative and provided to support market understanding rather than to define fixed scope or volumes.
