Summary of the contracting process

Onward Group Limited procured planned roofing replacement works for its housing and property portfolio across Merseyside, Lancashire and Greater Manchester. The programme covers four work areas: pitched roofing in Merseyside and Lancashire; pitched roofing in Greater Manchester; flat roofing; and conservation and complex roofing. Required work includes replacing slate and tiled pitched roofs, gutters, soffits, fascias, chimneys and associated leadwork. The flat-roof scope includes replacing felt, single-ply and liquid-applied systems, together with fall-protection systems. The specialist conservation scope covers listed buildings and properties in conservation areas, using natural slate, stone or other heritage materials and complying with planning permissions and historic building techniques. This is a public-sector construction opportunity focused on roofing replacement and associated specialist trades.

The procurement is complete and has reached award stage following an above-threshold open procedure. Thirteen bids were recorded for each lot, with three final-stage bidders, including one SME. The award, dated 22 June 2026, is pending and names Westhoughton Roofing & Pointing Services, Glenn Slater Building Contractors Ltd and SSR UK HOLDCO as suppliers across all four lots. The awarded value is £14.2 million gross. The awarded contract period is 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2031, while the underlying lot periods are three years from 3 August 2026 to 2 August 2029, with a stated two-year optional extension. Evaluation weighted quality at 60% and commercial factors at 40%. A standstill period ends on 30 July 2026.

This award demonstrates sustained demand from Onward Group Limited for planned roofing replacement across several North West areas, with separate requirements for pitched, flat, conservation and complex roofing. A future competitor would need credible delivery capability across roofing frames and coverings, slate and tile work, gutters, soffits, fascias, chimneys, leadwork and flat-roof systems. Specialist experience with natural slate, stone, heritage materials, listed buildings, conservation areas, planning permissions and historic construction methods would be important for the conservation lot. Suppliers should also be able to manage fall-protection installations and coordinated work across a substantial housing portfolio. The competition attracted thirteen bids per lot and three final-stage bidders, including one SME, indicating that both scale and specialist competence were relevant to the buyer’s evaluation.
