Summary of the contracting process

South Kesteven District Council procured construction works at the Wharf Road car park, covering all levels of the facility. The scope comprised redecoration and sundry remedial repairs to meet dilapidation obligations under the lease and maintain the car park for residents and the public. The works also required the car park to remain generally operational, with particular attention to maintaining fire exits, security and safe segregation between the works, car park activities and members of the public. The procurement is categorised as construction work. South Kesteven District Council was the buying organisation, with Welland Procurement managing the procurement process. Delivery is in the South Kesteven area of England, at the Wharf Road car park.

The procurement is complete: the contract was awarded to KILNBRIDGE STRUCTURAL SERVICES LTD on 16 May 2026 and signed on 3 August 2026. The award and contract value is £266,885.50 excluding VAT (£320,262.60 including VAT). It was a single-lot, below-threshold open competition, with electronic submission allowed. Four bids reached the final stage. The tender deadline was 24 April 2026 at 12:00, and enquiries closed on 13 April 2026. The contract period runs from 3 August to 31 December 2026, with a discretionary six-month extension available until 30 June 2027. Evaluation weighted quality at 40% and price at 60%. The lot was identified as suitable for SMEs.

This award demonstrates demand from South Kesteven District Council for contractors able to deliver live-environment car park repairs and redecoration while keeping public facilities usable. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical construction and structural repair capability, experience of remedial and finishing works across a multi-level car park, and the site-management discipline to protect fire exits, maintain security and segregate workers from vehicles, residents and other members of the public. Understanding lease dilapidation obligations and working within an operational facility would be relevant. The successful supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a suitably capable smaller construction business. Four final-stage bids indicate competition for this type of work.
