Purpose

This report is for the award of a contract for refurbishment works at Kilburn Library. The project will modernise the library, create flexible spaces for learning, skills development, and employment support, and enhance accessibility through a new children’s library and interactive furniture. It forms part of the One Kilburn Strategy (One Kilburn – We Make Camden) and supports Council priorities around inclusion, community engagement, and local economic growth.

The procurement was undertaken using a closed tender.

The award of the contract to Quinn London Limited is based on their submission being the most economically advantageous tender in respect of the award criteria set out in the Tender.

This report is coming to the Director of Recreation and Public Safety because under C4 of the Council’s Contract Standing Orders (CSOs), a Chief Officer may approve contracts between £1,000,001 – £2,000,000.

THAT the Director of Recreation and Public Safety approves the award of the contract for refurbishment works at Kilburn Library to Quinn London Limited for a period of 6 months for the sum of £1,425,912.67.
