Summary of the contracting process

South Kesteven District Council commissioned upgrade works to leisure facilities, focused on selective refurbishment of male and female changing areas. The scope includes replacing lighting and suspended ceilings, localised mechanical and electrical reinstatement, Whiterock wall lining, limited cubicle and vanity replacements, new entrance and services-cupboard doors, selected roller-shutter doors, ancillary ceiling works, and new flooring in corridors and locker rooms. This is a building construction project delivered for the council’s leisure facilities in the South Kesteven area. South Kesteven District Council is the buyer, with Welland Procurement acting as the procuring entity. The requirement is classified as works and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It would suit contractors able to manage coordinated refurbishment in an operational leisure environment.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Northdown Property Services (NPS) Ltd on 21 April 2026; the contract was signed on 1 June 2026 and is active. It used a below-threshold open competition, with electronic submissions allowed. Nine bids were received, including nine from SMEs. Evaluation was based on price (50%), quality (40%) and social value (10%). The single lot had an estimated value of £500,000 excluding VAT (£600,000 including VAT). The awarded and contracted value is £321,221.29 excluding VAT (£385,465.55 including VAT). The contract period runs from 1 June to 20 November 2026, with an optional extension to 20 May 2027 for delays. The tender submission deadline was 20 March 2026 at 12:00.

This award demonstrates demand from South Kesteven District Council for structured leisure-facility refurbishment delivered by a small or medium-sized building contractor. A credible future competitor would need practical experience coordinating multiple trades, including electrical and mechanical reinstatement, ceilings, wall protection systems, doors and shutters, flooring, cubicles and vanity units. The requirement also favours contractors able to plan selective works across changing rooms and ancillary areas, control interfaces between trades, and maintain suitable quality and safety standards in a leisure setting. Because social value formed part of the assessment alongside quality and price, suppliers should be able to provide a clear, deliverable social-value offer as well as competitive costs. Nine SME bids show that businesses of this scale can compete for the council’s refurbishment requirements.
