This project, part of the council's Planned School Maintenance Program, involves electrical rewiring, installing new fire and security alarms, mechanical replacements for heating and pipework, and associated fabric works. The project, classified under the Construction work industry category (CPV: 45000000), is located in the North West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement stage is an award completed via a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. Key dates include the award notice published on 15th July 2026, with the contract period set from 18th July 2026 to 30th August 2026, for a value of £286,598 GBP.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in construction and mechanical and electrical works, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), as the procurement process was open to such organisations. As the project is concluded with Top Notch Contractors Limited being awarded the contract, it highlights the type of work and engagements that other similar companies can aspire to in future tender opportunities within the public sector.
