## Summary

The City of London is procuring external cyclical maintenance and conservation works at Leadenhall Market, a Grade II* listed historic market used for retail, hospitality and other commercial activity. The scope covers scaffold access to the building envelope and roofs; inspection and repair of Portland stone and masonry; restoration and redecoration of the ornate roof structure; and associated joinery and building-services work, including moving cable trays where needed. Specialist elements include artwork and stencil artwork, gilding, slate roofing, leadwork, sash windows, rooftop metal walkways and gantries, and rainwater goods. The works are intended to preserve the market’s historic fabric and maintain its operation. Delivery needs to be coordinated around busy trading periods and activity in this multi-tenant market.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition, and the process reached the tender stage. Electronic submission was allowed. The buyer set the bid deadline as 2 November 2026 at 14:00 UTC. The contract period was set to run from 30 November 2026 to 30 April 2027, with a possible extension to 30 June 2027; the terms also allow variations and extension clauses. The estimated value is £750,000 excluding VAT (£900,000 including VAT). Evaluation has three stages: pass/fail qualification questions; technical and responsible-procurement questions; and a lump-sum price assessment. Technical topics include listed-building conservation, health and safety planning for work in a live environment, programme management and stakeholder communication, and work in busy operational markets and multi-tenant buildings.

This work is suited to building contractors with demonstrable experience of listed buildings and conservation methods, including specialist trades able to undertake stone and masonry repairs, ornate roof restoration, joinery, slate roofing, leadwork, sash-window work, gilding and historic artwork. Suppliers need to plan and deliver construction safely while the market remains operational, coordinating access, sequencing and communication with stakeholders and tenants. Capability in programme management and tenant liaison will be important, as will the capacity to manage a varied package of fabric repairs and building-services alterations. Bidders should be ready to address social value and climate action as part of their responsible-procurement responses, as well as provide a lump-sum commercial offer.
