In brief

The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London has announced plans to buy facilities management 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 £550,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 4 years, starting 1 October 2028.

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

Can I win this?

Competition

Usually high: a median of 6 bids per contract for this buyer (from 35 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £550,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

Update 24 September 2026: Please note that this procurement/project is currently paused / on hold. The framework will be structured to deliver integrated facilities management (IFM) services, with lotting aligned to defined estate portfolio types to reflect differing operational characteristics and service requirements. It will provide access to a comprehensive IFM model combining hard FM (including mechanical and electrical maintenance, fabric maintenance and building engineering services) and soft FM (including cleaning, security, waste and grounds maintenance) within a single, coordinated delivery model. The framework will include end-to-end service integration, incorporating contract management, centralised helpdesk functions, and digital platform integration (e.g. CAFM/IWMS) to support performance monitoring and asset management. It will enable regional and national delivery across diverse estate portfolios and support flexible call-off arrangements aligned to organisational scale, complexity and operational needs, providing a compliant and scalable route to market for full outsourced IFM delivery.
