Summary of the contracting process

Ipswich Borough Council procured roof insulation works for Christchurch Mansion and the Arts building in Ipswich. The requirement covers roof insulation, general insulation and thermal insulation work, classified under CPV 45261410, 45320000 and 45321000. The works are to be delivered in the Ipswich area. This is a building improvement project for two council-owned or managed cultural buildings, rather than a supply-only opportunity. The requirement is categorised as works and was reserved for small and medium-sized enterprises, voluntary, community and social enterprises, with participation limited to organisations in the United Kingdom. A supplier undertaking roofing insulation installation and associated thermal insulation works would therefore be the closest match, particularly where it can work on existing public or heritage buildings in Ipswich.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold open competition. Glorcroft Limited was selected, and the contract was signed on 21 July 2026. The awarded contract is worth £55,872 excluding VAT (£67,046 including VAT). The contract runs from 21 July to 1 September 2026, with a possible extension to 30 September 2026; the contract includes a one-month renewal option. The original tender deadline was 23 March 2026 at 11:00, with clarification questions due by 16 March 2026 at 14:00. The stated tender estimate was £100,000 excluding VAT (£120,000 including VAT), although the lot record gives the same figures with AED as its currency. Awarding combined quality and price, and electronic submission was permitted.

This award demonstrates demand from Ipswich Borough Council for specialist roof and thermal insulation works across significant public buildings. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical capability in installing or upgrading roof insulation, coordinating work in occupied or publicly accessible buildings, and delivering to a short, defined construction programme. Experience of working for councils, on cultural or heritage premises, or within buildings where protection of the existing structure and public safety matter would strengthen its position. The procurement was reserved for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller local or regional contractors with suitable roofing insulation teams may be well placed. Bidders would also need to present a strong combination of technical quality and competitive pricing.
