Summary of the contracting process

Stoke-on-Trent City Council appointed a single contractor for external refurbishment works at Burslem School of Art in Stoke-on-Trent. The scope covers repairs to the roof, particularly flashing, along with repairs to the building’s external elevations and internal finishes. This is a construction and specialist building-repair requirement, with the procurement classification covering roof works and other special trade construction works (CPV 45260000). The work is centred on the school’s external fabric, but includes associated internal finishing works. It would suit a principal building contractor or specialist refurbishment contractor able to manage a coordinated package of roofing, external-envelope and finishing activities at a public building. The opportunity was structured as one complete requirement rather than separate work packages, and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. Stoke-on-Trent City Council selected BSN GROUP FAST TRACK LIMITED as the supplier. The award was made on 13 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The signed contract is worth £176,919 excluding VAT, or £212,302.80 including VAT. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 13 November 2026. It comprised one lot. The tender submission deadline was 17 March 2026 at 12:00, and the enquiry deadline was 10 March 2026 at 16:00. Evaluation used the Most Advantageous Tender approach: technical quality carried 40 marks and commercial price 60 marks, combined into an overall score out of 100.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for a contractor that can deliver a short, concentrated refurbishment package across roofing, external elevations and internal finishes for a civic education building. A credible competitor would need practical expertise in roof repair, including flashing, together with the ability to repair and finish external building fabric and coordinate related internal works. The single-contractor model favours businesses that can take responsibility for the whole package, either through in-house trades or reliable specialist subcontractors. The requirement was suitable for SMEs, so firms of that scale with relevant refurbishment experience may be well placed. Strong technical method statements would matter alongside price, because quality accounted for a substantial part of the evaluation. Experience of managing works in occupied or sensitive public buildings would also support a credible future response.
