CPS Building Services LIMITED

CPS Building Services LIMITED, a United Kingdom-based construction and facilities maintenance contractor headquartered in Cambridge, operates as a prime contractor delivering building renovation, repair, alteration, and new construction services to the U.S. Department of Defense at Royal Air Force installations in the United Kingdom. The company competes on a full-and-open basis with no small business set-aside designations across its entire federal footprint.

The vendor's federal customer base is heavily concentrated in a single command. The Department of the Air Force's United States Air Forces in Europe and Africa (USAFE-AFAFRICA) accounts for 75 awards valued at $97.2 million combined potential value, representing roughly 80% of the vendor's total award count and 80% of dollar value. An additional 67 delivery orders under broader Department of the Air Force accounts add $12.9 million in potential value. The remaining customer agencies—the Air Force Air Combat Command, the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering Support Center Huntsville, and GSA Federal Acquisition Service—represent de minimis activity. This concentration is not driven by a single large contract but sustained across multiple vehicles: the primary Simplified Acquisition of Base Engineering Requirements (SABER) indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract carries a $79.1 million ceiling awarded September 1, 2022, through August 31, 2027, and has generated 98 task orders valued at $22.2 million in combined potential value. A supplemental $10 million Basic Ordering Agreement awarded May 17, 2024, through March 31, 2029, supports an additional 28 task orders. A second SABER variant has generated 13 task orders.

CPS Building Services LIMITED's work product is concrete and repetitive across a narrow scope. The vendor delivers bathroom renovations, flooring and carpet replacement, HVAC system installation and replacement, roof repairs and replacement, electrical infrastructure upgrades, LED lighting modernization, building interior repainting and redecoration, security fencing installation, water system and chiller infrastructure, and specialized military construction such as Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility pads. Representative prime task orders include a $5.83 million facility renovation delivery order at three RAF bases (September 2023), a $2.3 million SCIF pad construction at RAF Mildenhall (September 2023), a $709 thousand delivery order for broad-range maintenance and repair at RAF installations (June 2024), and a $561 thousand RAF Mildenhall post office renovation (September 2024). All work is performed at U.S. Government facilities in the United Kingdom, with place of performance limited to Great Britain and the United Arab Emirates; administrative oversight sits at USAFE-AFAFRICA.

The vendor holds an active GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract awarded February 18, 2026, with a $475,000 ceiling through February 17, 2031, and offers 30 labor categories spanning hourly rates from $23.36 (Apprentice Stage 2) to $328.08 (Building Control Adviser/Director). The labor portfolio reflects non-security-cleared construction and facilities trades—electricians, mechanical engineers, project managers, health and safety advisors—with education spanning high school equivalent through master's level and experience requirements from entry-level apprenticeships through 15-year senior roles. Rate positioning is moderate across the trades spectrum, with typical skilled trades (electrician, approved electrician, fabric technician) clustered in the $55–$70 per hour range and administrative roles (project managers, directors) in the $72–$328 range.

Activity trajectory shows sustained growth. Awards per year increased from 12 in 2022 to 42 in 2025, with 7 awards recorded in 2026 year-to-date as of mid-July. The recompete cliff is minimal: only 2 awards valued at $179 thousand carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, indicating the SABER vehicle and BOA are performing at steady state with no material recompete exposure before late 2027.

The vendor operates as a prime contractor on its entire U.S. federal footprint. Four subcontract awards surfaced in the source material, all dated within the past six months and all under J & J Maintenance Inc. as prime on operations and maintenance services for Lakenheath Air Force Base; these represent less than 3% of the vendor's award count and are incidental to its primary prime role. CPS Building Services LIMITED carries no notable domestic subcontracting partnerships and no documented teaming arrangements on its prime awards.

The vendor was registered in the System for Award Management in January 2019 and maintains active SAM registration. It competes without set-aside designation across all contract vehicles and customer agencies, positioning itself as an open-market facilities contractor specialized in overseas military infrastructure support.
