Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Allanson Street School Pipework Redirection" project was managed by St Helens Council, a sub-central government public authority in the United Kingdom. This contract, with an award date of 1st August 2025 and a completion scheduled by 31st August 2025, involved redirecting underfloor heating pipework due to leaks and ageing issues. The procurement method was an open competition, below the threshold, focusing on construction work. The contract had been awarded to the supplier, Senate Group, based in Liverpool, reflecting the successful conclusion of the tender process.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in construction works, particularly those with expertise in mechanical and electrical design and execution. Small and medium enterprises, like Senate Group, are well-suited to compete in such tenders, especially when open competition below the threshold is involved. Companies with a track record of addressing infrastructural challenges—such as piping systems in educational institutions—can leverage this and future tenders for growth, particularly if they meet the specified criteria of quality and cost as integral elements of the evaluation process.
