Summary of the contracting process

St Helens Council has completed the procurement process for the "Thatto Heath School Pipework Redirection" project. This contract involved the improvement of heating pipework installation at Thatto Heath Community Primary School, scheduled to occur over two phases during the summers of 2025 and 2026. The procurement was handled as an open competition, as indicated by the "below threshold" status, and was part of a contractual agreement valued at £190,000. The winning bid for this opportunity was awarded to Senate Group, a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in Liverpool. The project is categorised under the works sector, specifically for construction and civil engineering services, and was subject to a stipulated start and end date between 13th and 31st August 2025.

This contract provides a notable opportunity for businesses specialising in construction and civil engineering to expand their portfolios by partnering with local government authorities. SMEs with expertise in heating installation and related infrastructure upgrades, particularly those within the Merseyside region, would find such projects valuable for increasing their market presence and establishing robust professional references. The open procurement method also allows for competitive bidding, ensuring that a diverse array of capable enterprises can participate and showcase their capabilities in public sector projects. Furthermore, the structured evaluation criteria emphasising cost and quality enable qualified businesses to effectively demonstrate their value propositions to potential public sector clients.
