UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Ware Town Council commissioned remodelling and refurbishment works at Ware Priory Lido to improve the site’s external appearance. The requirement is building refurbishment work at the lido in Ware, Hertfordshire. It covers one lot, with the work focused on the lido rather than a wider programme of sites. The council is the buyer, and the identified delivery location is Ware. The contract concerns physical improvement and refurbishment of an existing leisure facility, rather than the supply of goods or an ongoing service. The awarded supplier is a building works contractor, indicating that the procurement was for delivery of refurbishment works at the site.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to HIGHLINE CONTRACTS (SOUTHERN) LTD. The award notice does not provide an award date; the contract was signed on 23 March 2026. The signed contract period runs from 23 March to 5 June 2026. Its gross value is £534,078.31, with a net amount of £445,065.26; this is higher than the original estimated gross value of £240,000. The contract allows for variation costs under a JCT Minor Works building contract. The council used an open procedure. It was a single-lot procurement, assessed equally on price and quality, with further quality detail referred to in the tender attachment. The original tender deadline was 5 January 2026, and the enquiry deadline was 22 December 2025.

This award shows demand from Ware Town Council for substantial refurbishment and remodelling of a public lido, with the aim of improving its external appearance. A credible competitor for similar work would need to deliver building refurbishment at an operational leisure-site scale, manage the work as a defined construction contract and provide a strong, competitive price alongside evidence of quality. Familiarity with JCT Minor Works terms, including the management of variations, would be relevant to this contract model. The buyer assessed price and quality on an equal basis, so suppliers would need to demonstrate both cost control and a convincing approach to workmanship and delivery. The awarded contractor is an SME, and the procurement identified the lot as suitable for SMEs.
