The tender concerns a minor refurbishment program for North Rona Lighthouse, situated on the remote UK island of North Rona, the most isolated permanently inhabited land in the British Isles. The Northern Lighthouse Board seeks a contractor able to execute a series of maintenance tasks across the lighthouse compound, comprising the tower, engine block, and accommodation block, at the sole pre‑approved helicopter landing point scheduled for 30 September 2026. The contractor must arrange for a team of at least two individuals for landing and preparation activities and deploy no fewer than three and no more than four workers on each building block, with additional personnel trained to operate the engine during the duration of the work.

The appointed contractor will establish a temporary base within the accommodation block, wash down all structures to remove marine growth, and carry out fibreglass repairs and replacement of broken external slabs. Subsequent tasks will include sealing of the GRP buildings, restoration of watertight integrity, new door installation, painting of the lighthouse tower, installation of a new water tank, and the erection of fencing. All work will involve site clearance and load preparation for helicopter delivery, with the contractor responsible for safe logistics and compliance with the stipulated landing procedures. All activities shall be carried out in accordance with the Northern Lighthouse Board safety and marine environmental standards.

The London Universities Purchasing Consortium is launching a Framework Agreement for Maintenance Services that will enable participating UK universities to secure reliable support for the safe, efficient, and compliant operation of their buildings and estates. The Framework is designed to provide flexible access to suppliers capable of delivering a broad spectrum of building‑maintenance activities on a planned, reactive, or project basis. These activities encompass building fabric maintenance, mechanical, electrical and plumbing/Public Health (MEP) maintenance, planned preventive maintenance (PPM), reactive repairs, emergency response, and statutory compliance tasks, along with grounds and external maintenance where required.

The contract is divided into two distinct Lots. Lot 1 calls for an integrated maintenance solution covering all aspects of building care, including minor works projects under Option X27 of the NEC4 Facilities Management Contract. Lot 2 focuses exclusively on MEP systems, requiring scheduled PPM, reactive service, emergency interventions, and statutory inspections and testing specific to engineering infrastructure, while explicitly excluding fabric maintenance and unrelated minor‑works responsibilities. Call‑off contracts under either Lot will be administered using the NEC4 Facilities Management Contract, including Service Orders for routine maintenance and Project Orders for minor works.

Evaluation of bids will employ a weighted scoring system giving priority to technical quality (70 %) and, to a lesser degree, commercial price (30 %), ensuring the selection of suppliers that demonstrate the requisite expertise and value across the breadth of required maintenance services.

The Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB) seeks to appoint a qualified service provider to conduct a comprehensive set of impact and implementation evaluations for the PEACEPLUS Programme, a cross‑border initiative funded jointly by the European Union, the United Kingdom and Irish governments. This bid covers Batch 1 of the evaluation schedule, which includes one implementation evaluation and three thematic impact evaluations: the PEACEPLUS Action Plans, the overall Peace theme, and the Children and Young People theme. The evaluations are to be carried out in Northern Ireland and aim to measure the extent to which the Programme’s objectives have been achieved, attribute observed changes to the Programme, and identify factors influencing outcomes, thereby enriching the data available beyond the routine monitoring system.

The evaluation work will follow the established PEACEPLUS Evaluation Plan, requiring rigorous evidence gathering and analysis to provide stakeholders with robust impact assessments. The selected provider must adhere to the detailed specifications set out in the tender documents and deliver findings that support data‑driven decision‑making for future cross‑border peace and prosperity initiatives. Evaluation must comply with the PEACEPLUS Programme Evaluation Plan and standard EU evaluation methodology and adhere to confidentiality and data protection requirements.

The Burgess Hill Town Council is inviting proposals for the annual production and printing of its flagship community magazine, About Town, through a three‑year contract covering March 2027 to November 2029. The contract will cover nine issues issued on a four‑month cycle—March, July and November—requiring annual cost estimates that track only the number of issues produced, with the council retaining the right to cancel at any time without penalty. The council’s objectives include maintaining the magazine’s distinctive landscape format while ensuring quality design, timely delivery and compliance with its existing distribution agreements.

Prospective suppliers will be responsible for the complete production chain, starting with the assembly and layout of the magazine using the typography, logos, photographs and copy supplied by the editor. This work encompasses the placement of adverts, creation of advert copies, approval processes with the council’s advertising partners, and provision of both digital proofs and a printed sample to the council office. Printing will be performed at a 16,000‑copy run on 100 gsm gloss interior pages and a 130 gsm gloss cover, finished at 198 × 210 mm landscape, with cost adjustments for additional copies sold by twelves, and delivery to the Royal Mail distribution centre and the council office.
The print run consists of 16,000 198 × 210 mm landscape copies on 100 gsm gloss interior and a 130 gsm gloss cover, with a 20‑copy increment cost per additional print.

Westminster City Council, responsible for 21,000 homes across the borough, is re‑procurring the delivery of maintenance and capital improvement services for its housing stock. The new procurement is organised as two separate lots under a single Term Alliance Contract (TAC‑1), with each lot represented by a distinct set of technical and commercial requirements. A strategic alliance framework will bind the selected contractors and establishes a set of common contractual conditions linked to the Council’s ambition to modernise and sustain its inventory of high‑rise, conservation, and listed properties.

Lot 1, titled “Responsive Repairs & Voids”, covers the provision of all urgent and scheduled remedial work on occupied dwellings, including statutory timescale compliance, communal area maintenance, the preparation of empty homes to lettable standards, as well as retrofit interventions for occupied and unoccupied units. The contractor will also deliver temporary works, resident liaison, and professional services to ensure that repairs and void works are completed efficiently and with minimal disruption to residents.

Lot 2, “Major Works”, delivers planned cyclical capital improvements, component replacements and major structural repairs across the council’s estate. Work will be instructed through a series of Task Briefs aligned with the RIBA Plan of Work 2020 and will be directed by asset‑management priorities and resident input. All tasks will be executed by the appointed contractor under the same strategic alliance terms and will be subject to performance‑based renewal options.

All work must comply with statutory repair timescales, RIBA Plan of Work 2020 and the technical and regulatory requirements specified in the Lot 1 and Lot 2 Technical Term Briefs.
