Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council commissioned Leeds Building Services to obtain subcontractor services for sleeves and core drilling at Leeds Central Library. The work is a specialist building-services and construction activity involving core drilling and the installation of sleeves, supporting the library’s building works. Leeds is the delivery location, within West Yorkshire. The requirement was procured as a single service package for the council. It is relevant to plumbing, drainage, building-services and specialist drilling contractors able to carry out controlled core drilling and associated sleeve installation in an operational public-building environment. The council is a sub-central public authority, and the requirement was reserved for participation by organisations located in West Yorkshire.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. FLOWMASTER PLUMBING & DRAINAGE LIMITED was selected for the sleeves and core drilling services. The contract was signed on 28 May 2025 and has a contract period from 27 October 2025 to 26 May 2026. Its value is £43,480 excluding VAT, or £52,176 including VAT. The tender deadline was 23 May 2025 at 11:00, and electronic submission was allowed. There was one lot. Evaluation was based entirely on price: the contractor offering the lowest price ranked highest and was awarded the contract. The procurement falls within services and uses the core-drilling classification.

This award provides a clear benchmark for suppliers targeting Leeds City Council’s building-services requirements. A credible competitor would need practical expertise in core drilling and sleeve installation, with the equipment, operatives and site controls needed to work safely within a major public library project. Experience as a subcontractor on construction or building-services programmes would help demonstrate the ability to coordinate with Leeds Building Services and other trades, manage penetrations accurately and complete work to the required specification. Suppliers should also be able to operate within West Yorkshire, since participation was reserved to organisations located there. The route to market was a below-threshold open competition, so future comparable requirements are likely to reward firms that can submit a clear, competitive price for a defined specialist package.
