Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

BIP SOLUTIONS LIMITED procured construction works to replace the roof at Ogden’s Clocktower, a Grade II listed building on St Julian’s Drive in Liverpool. The requirement is a specialist building and roofing project, with work delivered in Liverpool, North West England. The building’s listed status means the works concern a heritage asset rather than a standard commercial or residential roof. The buyer is BIP SOLUTIONS LIMITED, based in St Helens, Merseyside. The procurement is categorised as construction work and covers the complete roofing replacement requirement for the clocktower. It is relevant to contractors able to undertake substantial roofing and associated construction works on protected or historic buildings.

The procurement has been completed through an open procedure above the UK threshold. Bids had to be submitted by 1 June 2026. The contract was awarded on 22 May 2026 to W. Swindells & Son for £564,673.68 including the stated GBP currency. The award is active, and the contract period runs from 6 July 2026 to 13 November 2026. The awarded supplier is an SME. The tender was for works and was treated as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations, despite the recorded supplier being an SME. The award covers the full roof replacement at Ogden’s Clocktower rather than separately identified lots.

This award demonstrates demand from BIP SOLUTIONS LIMITED for a sizeable, time-limited roofing construction project involving a Grade II listed building in Liverpool. A credible future competitor would need the capacity to deliver a complete roof replacement within a defined construction programme, together with the technical competence and site controls expected when working on a protected historic structure. Relevant roofing and construction experience, careful handling of heritage fabric, robust project management and the ability to coordinate specialist trades would strengthen a supplier’s position. The selected contractor’s SME status also indicates that specialist smaller firms can deliver this type of requirement, although the procurement itself was recorded as unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs.
