Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Colchester City Council commissioned works contractors to re-cover various single-storey flat roofs at houses throughout the Colchester District. The scope includes roofs over porches, bay windows, single-storey extensions and outbuildings, covering both roof-covering and repair work. This is a building works requirement rather than a supply-only contract, with the main classification being roof-covering work (CPV 45261210) and an additional classification for roof repair (CPV 45261910). The work is delivered at residential properties in the Colchester area, within the East of England. The contracting authority is Colchester City Council, with Colchester Borough Homes acting on its behalf in commissioning the contractor.

The procurement is complete and was run as an open procedure. The contract was awarded on 27 July 2026 to Highview Group Ltd for £155,000. The contract period is 3 August 2026 to 27 November 2026, and the works were required to take no longer than 18 weeks. The tender submission deadline was 29 May 2026. The procurement used the JCT Intermediate Building Contract 2016 Edition. It was presented as a single requirement covering the identified flat-roof works, with no separate lots reported. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, although tenderer selection was based on the procurement criteria.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for a roofing contractor able to manage multiple small flat-roof renewal and repair jobs across occupied or otherwise dispersed residential properties in the Colchester District. A credible future supplier would need practical experience of re-covering roofs over porches, bay windows, extensions and outbuildings, together with the workforce, supervision and scheduling capacity to coordinate work at various houses. Familiarity with the JCT Intermediate Building Contract 2016 Edition would be relevant to contract administration and delivery. The buyer’s stated suitability for SMEs and VCSEs indicates that a smaller organisation can be competitive where it can evidence the required technical capability, reliable project management and ability to deliver the full programme.
