## Summary

The City of London commissioned mechanical and electrical consultancy services for external works at City of London and Gresham Almshouses. The scope covers consultancy supporting external redecoration and repairs, electrical landlord upgrades, security systems, lighting and a warden call system. The work concerns services delivered in connection with the City of London’s almshouse properties. The buying organisation is The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London, a public authority. The procurement’s main requirement was classified as electrical services, although the wider requirement combines electrical consultancy with advice and support for building repair, security, lighting and resident warden-call infrastructure. It was arranged as a single requirement rather than separate published lots.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a below-threshold limited competition. Frankham Consultancy Group Ltd was awarded the contract, with the award recorded as active. The contract was signed on 30 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 1 May 2029. Its gross value is £56,947.20 including VAT, and it is below the applicable threshold. The award covers the electrical-services requirement. The published outcome identifies one completed lot and one awarded supplier. The process was conducted under the Procurement Act 2023. The contract is active, so this outcome represents an established supplier relationship rather than an unawarded procurement.

This outcome indicates demand from the City of London for specialist consultancy supporting occupied or managed almshouse buildings and their associated electrical and safety systems. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical mechanical and electrical consultancy capability, with experience relating to external building works, electrical landlord installations, security, lighting and warden call systems. Relevant firms would need to understand how these elements interact within a residential care or supported-living environment, coordinate advice across building repairs and services, and provide deliverable technical input for a public-sector client. The requirement also suggests that a supplier should be able to handle a defined, relatively contained consultancy commission through a formal limited-competition route, while demonstrating sufficient organisational capacity to manage several linked workstreams.
