Summary of the contracting process

Looe Town Council procured roof refurbishment works for the seafront public toilets and adjoining store in Looe, Cornwall. The work covers high-level access arrangements approved by the architect and HSE, followed by removal of the existing diminishing Delabole slate roof and unsuitable replacements. The contractor must remove and legally dispose of hazardous materials, including asbestos where present, and replace the roof with suitable materials for the Conservation Area. The scope includes reusing sound slates and ridge tiles, new breathable membrane, battens, eaves support trays, lead valley soakers, facias, soffits, gutters and facia vents, plus removal and replacement of lintels. The contractor must support any required Cornwall Council permissions and building-control sign-off. The toilets and seafront store are to remain accessible throughout the works.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure below the threshold. Looe Town Council awarded the contract to Pete Nicholls Roofing Ltd on 4 August 2026 for £60,772.80. The estimated tender value was £40,000 to £50,000. The contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 31 December 2026. The tender deadline was 10 July 2026 at 5pm. Evaluation covered methodology and experience, including keeping the toilets and store open, proposed materials and fixing methods, waste management, access and location arrangements, project timescale, recent similar work, references and recent CDM-regulated work. Tenderers were also required to provide itemised costs, a work schedule and an overall price valid for six months from award.

This award indicates a requirement suited to an SME roofing contractor able to manage conservation-sensitive refurbishment of public buildings while maintaining access for users and the client’s operations. A credible future supplier would need demonstrable experience with slate roof replacement, including Delabole slate, breathable membranes, battens, leadwork, eaves details, fascias, soffits, gutters, vents and lintels. Capability in high-level access planning and CDM 2015 compliance for commercial clients is central, as is safe identification, removal and disposal of asbestos or other hazardous materials. Strong evidence would include recent comparable projects, client references, clear waste-management arrangements, detailed methods and fixing proposals, and the ability to coordinate with architects, HSE and Cornwall Council Building Control on permissions and completion.
