2627-0255 Building Services

London Borough of Islington · Local authority

In brief

London Borough of Islington has announced plans to buy construction and architecture and engineering work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £22,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 3 years, up to 7 years with extensions, starting 1 November 2027.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £22,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.
