Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Blackburn with Darwen Council involved the refurbishment of washrooms at Cedars Primary School, Blackburn. Categorised under construction works, this project reached the award and contract stage, with key operations starting on 16th July 2025 and concluding on 16th October 2025. The procurement method used was 'limited', implying a below-threshold, limited competition approach. At its core, the initiative reflects the council's commitment to maintaining educational infrastructure, executed by the council identified as a public authority - sub-central government. The process adhered to the legal framework set by the UK Public General Acts 2023/54.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the construction industry, particularly those specialising in refurbishment works. SMEs, like B&G Sears, have demonstrated successful competition in such contracts, highlighting opportunities for similarly scaled enterprises to participate in public procurement processes. By engaging in such projects, businesses can bolster their portfolios and establish lasting relationships with local councils, potentially leading to further contracts and a broadened business scope.
