About this data
- Estimates, labelled. The price range, possible competitors and earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards, not published facts, win chances or price advice. The buyer’s own record and the wider market are shown apart, never mixed.
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender and Contracts Finder), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0, updated through the day and rebuilt nightly. Not every figure uses both feeds, and each one shows how many records it rests on: see the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.

UKRI is seeking to engage a specialist roofing and building envelope contractor with the relevant technical expertise and experience in roofing, maintenance, repairs and associated building envelope works. The requirement is intended to support both reactive maintenance and planned refurbishment works. The current arrangements require individual works to be procured separately, which can result in additional procurement activity, delays and resource requirements.
The intention is to appoint a specialist provider rather than a general facilities management provider or intermediary, to ensure the required technical expertise is available directly through the contract and to minimise unnecessary additional management arrangements.
The proposed contract will provide UKRI with an established supplier capable of responding to individual requirements as they arise throughout the contract term.
The anticipated contract duration is three years, with an optional one-year extension, with an estimated total value of £5 million excluding VAT.
The purpose of this pre-market engagement is to gather market intelligence, validate the proposed service requirements, understand current supplier capability and capacity, explore mobilisation approaches and commercial models, and identify any considerations that should be reflected in the final procurement strategy and Invitation to Tender.
Please send your Expression of Interest to [email protected], referencing - PME RFI Request - UKRI-6272 – Roofing Works, Maintenance and Associated Services
Any information provided during the PME that may provide an advantage to a particular supplier will be anonymised and shared with all interested suppliers to ensure transparency and equal treatment.
