Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by St Helens Council pertains to the "Hardshaw Brook Depot Electrical Supply Upgrade," within the construction industry category. With the council located in St Helens, UK, this procurement has transitioned from the tender stage in November 2025 to now being at the award and contract stage as of June 2026. The project, valued at £250,000 excluding VAT, was won by Wilson Facilities Management Services Limited, with work commencing from 6th July 2026 to 31st July 2026. Employing an open procurement method, this below-threshold tender was subject to an open competition, aligning with UK public procurement regulations.

This tender represents a strategic growth opportunity, particularly appealing to SMEs specialising in electrical installation and construction work.

The alignment of procurement strategies towards SMEs could potentially broaden the competitive landscape, creating pathways for smaller firms to secure government contracts, thereby fostering sectoral growth and enhancing market positioning.
