## Summary

Royal Holloway and Bedford New College procured remedial works to the Boiler House chimneys at its university site in Egham. The works address cracked mortar and brickwork, weathered brick facings, insecure cowlings and corroded metal bands identified through annual condition surveys. The purpose is essential maintenance: keeping the chimneys safe, preventing further deterioration and reducing the risk of falling materials injuring staff, students or visitors in busy occupied areas below. This is a construction and building-maintenance requirement, covering masonry and bricklaying together with roof repair and maintenance activities. The buyer is Royal Holloway and Bedford New College, a public authority and sub-central government body. The requirement concerns specialist remedial work to existing chimney structures rather than new construction.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. One lot was awarded to HORIZON SPECIALIST CONTRACTING LIMITED. The award was made on 11 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract period runs from 11 August 2026 to 11 September 2026, with work expected to take approximately 20 days. The contract value is £129,215 excluding VAT and £155,058 including VAT. The selected supplier is responsible for the chimney remedial works, including repairs to mortar and brickwork, weathered facings, cowlings and metal bands. The procurement was evaluated through the buyer’s direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, and the contract remains recorded as active.

This award indicates demand for specialist building repair contractors able to inspect and make safe chimney structures in an operational university environment. A credible competitor for comparable work would need practical expertise in masonry and bricklaying, including repairing cracked mortar, damaged brickwork and weathered facings, together with the ability to secure or replace chimney cowlings and address corroded metal bands. Strong health and safety controls would be important because the work is above busy, occupied areas used by staff, students and visitors, with a clear need to control falling-object risks and protect people below. Relevant capability in planned remedial maintenance, working around live university operations and completing a compact, coordinated works package would also be commercially relevant when this type of requirement returns.

## Notice

This work has been identified as essential maintenance following an annual condition surveys. The scope of work includes repairs to cracked mortar and brickwork, weathered brick facings, insecure cowlings, and corroded metal bands. These remedial works are necessary to maintain the chimneys in a safe condition and to prevent further deterioration. There is a significant Health & Safety requirement associated with this work. The areas beneath the chimneys are generally busy, occupied spaces, and RHUL must ensure that brickwork, mortar, and associated components do not deteriorate to a condition where there is a risk of falling material causing injury to staff, students, or visitors. Undertaking these repairs will mitigate that risk and ensure the continued safe operation of the surrounding areas. Work is required to commence by 10 August and will take approximately 20 days to complete.
