Summary of the contracting process

St Helens Council, a sub-central government public authority, recently concluded a procurement process titled "Eccleston Lane Ends School Heating Pipework Redirection", covering improvements to heating pipework at Eccleston Lane Ends Primary School. This project was split into two phases scheduled for summer 2025 and summer 2026. Situated in St Helens, United Kingdom, the procurement process involved an open competition below the threshold. The tender stage concluded on 19 June 2025, followed by awarding the contract on 25 July 2025. The Senate Group, a supplier based in Liverpool, was awarded the contract for their competitive bid to execute the construction work, starting on 13 August 2025, and will wrap up by the end of August 2025. The total contract value is £187,200 (gross).

This tender represents substantial opportunities for businesses specializing in construction, particularly those equipped to handle heating pipework redirection projects within educational facilities. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-suited for such projects given the open competition format and the opportunity to demonstrate cost-efficient, quality work. Participating in such tenders can enable businesses to establish vital relationships with public authorities like St Helens Council, potentially opening doors to future procurement opportunities and business growth in the public sector. Companies adept at navigating open procurement processes stand to benefit significantly from this engagement.
