Summary of the contracting process

South Kesteven District Council procured repair works for the timber structure and finishes of the Guildhall Arts Centre clock tower in Grantham. The works included safely cutting out and replacing damaged timber pillars and structural timbers, with internal scaffolding and bracing to restrain and support the structure during repairs. The purpose was to address defects identified during a detailed inspection and maintain the clock tower’s structural integrity while related roof repairs were under way. The requirement covered scaffolding work, supporting walls and refurbishment of a run-down building. Welland Procurement managed the procurement for the council. The work was delivered at the Guildhall Arts Centre in the Grantham area. The single requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement was awarded through a below-threshold direct award without competition, and the tender is recorded as complete. Hardy Construction and HARDY CONSTRUCTION (STAMFORD) LIMITED were selected for the single lot. The awarded value was £78,620 gross, with an awarded contract period from 19 March 2025 to 14 April 2025. The contract was signed on 17 March 2025 and recorded a gross value of £198,962, comprising £165,802 excluding tax. Its recorded period ran from 16 January 2026 to 14 April 2025. The contract was terminated on 25 August 2026 because it was completed. Implementation ended on 1 April 2026, with a final gross value of £198,962.40 and a final value excluding tax of £165,802. Evaluation was not competitive because this was a direct award.

This procurement indicates demand from South Kesteven District Council for specialist structural repair and conservation work on public or heritage buildings. A credible future supplier would need practical experience diagnosing and repairing defective timber structures, including timber pillars, finishes and structural members, together with the ability to design or install temporary support and internal scaffolding. Competence in supporting walls, refurbishment and safe work around occupied or active construction sites would be relevant. Suppliers should be able to respond quickly where structural safety is affected and coordinate with consultants and other contractors, such as roof-repair teams. The requirement was suitable for an SME, showing that a smaller construction business with appropriate skilled staff, equipment, site-management capability and evidence of comparable repair work could compete when this buyer next needs similar services.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Guildhall Arts Centre Clock Tower Repairs

Notice Description

Following detailed inspection and investigation of the timber structure of the Grantham Guild Hall Arts Centre clock tower by our consultant, William Saunders, it is apparent that significant repairs are now required to the timber finishes and structural timbers of the clock tower. This inspection was carried out from the scaffolding that had been erected for the roof repairs works which are currently underway. To ensure that the timber can be cut out and replaced safely and without affecting the structural stability of the clock tower, a bracing structure made up of scaffolding has to be installed within the clock tower so that the timber pillars are restrained and supported from movement whilst the repairs are carried out. The scope of the additional repairs has been drawn up by our consultant and priced by contractor Hardy Construction due to the urgency of carrying out the work. The works will address the identified issues and provide a solution that will maintain the structural integrity of the clock tower. The quotation for the works is PS78,620.00.
