This project falls under the construction work industry category, with an estimated value of £340,000, although the final award was valued at £437,592.97. The works will be carried out in the North West region of the United Kingdom, specifically at Barrow Library, involving tasks such as flat roof replacement, wall repointing, and window restoration. The procurement was conducted using a selective method through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period is set to commence on 4th August 2026 and conclude on 22nd January 2027.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in construction, particularly those specialising in roofing, restoration, and building maintenance.

Businesses like Top Notch Contractors Limited, which has already been awarded the contract, demonstrate the potential for growth through securing such public contracts.
