Bovis, Kier and Wates land £1.5bn Parliament revamp
Ten firms have secured places on a new £1.5bn framework to deliver the programme of on-going repairs and improvements to the Houses of Parliament and its wider MP estate in London.
Bovis, Kier and Wates share the top slot for major mixed-discipline projects over £50m under the Parliamentary Construction Partnership framework to keep the Palace of Westminster safe and operational into the early 2030s.
The new set-up, which replaces the existing MEPFS (Mechanical, Electrical, Public health, and Fabric Safety) framework, has been broken into four lots covering M&E, building and fit-out works.
| Parliamentary framework – award breakdown | |||
| Lot | Typical project value | Total lot value | Suppliers |
| Lot 1 | Over £50m, mixed-discipline projects | £500m | Bovis; Kier; Wates |
| Lot 2 | £5m–£50m, M&E (public health & fire) | £400m | Dalkia Facilities; Mitie; Emico; East West Connect |
| Lot 3 | Up to £50m, architectural/structural/conservation | £400m | Kier; Wates; Walter Lilly; Thomas Sinden |
| Lot 4 | Up to £5m, building, fit-out and M&E | £200m | DBR (London); Mitie; Emico; Thomas Sinden; Walter Lilly |
Works under the new seven-year framework will cover essential upkeep investment, rather than the full Restoration and Renewal plan for Parliament, which has still to be planned and agreed.
Contracts will be let under NEC4 by direct award or mini-competition with performance tracked through KPIs.
Quality carried an 80% weighting at tender covering delivery, H&S, risk, sustainability and a lot-specific technical response, with price at 20%.
