Summary of the contracting process

St Helens Council procured construction works to renew the boiler at Allanson Street Primary School. The requirement is a building-services and mechanical-construction project focused on replacing or renewing school heating infrastructure. Work was to be delivered in the United Kingdom, for a council-owned primary school in the St Helens area. The procurement was classified as construction work and formed a single requirement. Businesses relevant to this opportunity include main contractors and specialist mechanical, heating and public-sector building-services contractors able to undertake boiler renewal works in an operational education setting. The buyer was St Helens Council, a sub-central public authority, with procurement managed through its procurement service. The requirement was reserved for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises based in the United Kingdom.

This below-threshold procurement used an open competition and has reached completion following award. One lot was awarded to Seddon Construction Limited. The tender closed on 8 October 2025 at 12:00. The tender estimate was £80,000 excluding VAT, or £96,000 including VAT. The resulting contract value was £92,142.52 excluding VAT, or £110,571.02 including VAT. The contract was signed on 10 April 2026 and ran from 22 June 2026 to 3 July 2026. Evaluation weighted price at 65%, social value at 20% and quality at 15%. The contract is recorded as active, while the tender status is complete. Electronic submission was allowed, and the procurement used a single lot rather than dividing the boiler renewal into separate packages.

For a supplier assessing future demand from St Helens Council, this procurement demonstrates a recurring need for small, focused school heating and boiler-renewal projects delivered through open, below-threshold competition. A credible competitor would need practical construction capability, specialist heating or mechanical-services expertise, and the capacity to plan and complete works within a tightly defined school contract. Experience working safely in education environments and coordinating with a public-sector client would strengthen a bid. Suppliers would also need to present a technically convincing method and evidence of quality, while showing how delivery creates social value; these factors together accounted for 35% of the evaluation. The opportunity was suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, although the selected supplier was a large construction business.
