Summary of the contracting process

Reading Borough Council, located in Reading, United Kingdom, has completed the procurement process for the "Rupert Square Roofing Works" project. This procurement falls under the category of construction works, specifically roof works and other special trade construction works. The project required roofing improvements at 27, 28, and 29 Rupert Square due to structural issues impacting the safety and functionality of the existing roofs. The procurement followed an open competition method below the threshold, with the contract being awarded to D R Jones Yeovil Ltd, a large enterprise based in Yeovil. The contract, valued at approximately £60,000, commenced on 4th November 2025 and is set to conclude on 30th December 2025. The tender was initially active in June 2025, with the tender period closing on 9th July 2025.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in specialised construction and roofing services. Companies with expertise in roof repairs, particularly those that can handle structural adjustments and fire safety upgrades, are well-suited for such projects. The project required compliance with specific British Standards (BS 5534), highlighting opportunities for businesses that are proficient in adhering to these regulatory requirements. While the previous tender attracted 15 bids with only one from an SME, this highlights a competitive landscape that can encourage smaller, skilled construction firms to participate in future tenders, potentially growing their business through public sector contracts.
