Summary of the contracting process

Burnley Borough Council procured landlord demolition works at Unit 1, Market Square, Charter Walk Shopping Centre, Burnley. The requirement is to remove an existing detached café structure, disconnect and remove its existing services, and make good the surrounding public-realm surface finishes. This is a works contract covering demolition, site preparation and clearance (CPV 45111100 and 45111200). The work is delivered at the shopping centre in Burnley. Black Cat Building Consultancy Limited acted for the council in assessing tenders and managing the contract, including part of the valuation team. The council is the buyer and the requirement concerns a former café premises within an active shopping-centre environment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. Eight bids were received, all eight reached the final stage and all eight came from SMEs. Price carried 70% of the evaluation and quality 30%. Sheridan Group FM Limited was awarded the single lot on 14 August 2026 for £122,775 excluding VAT (£147,330 including VAT). The contract period is 28 September to 4 December 2026, with a possible maximum extension to 4 January 2027. Renewal is allowed where adverse weather or noise complaints from adjacent retail occupiers hinder progress. The tender deadline was 1 May 2026 at 3pm, and the enquiry deadline was 28 April 2026 at 3pm. Electronic submission was allowed.

This award demonstrates demand from Burnley Borough Council for contractors able to deliver controlled demolition and clearance in a public-facing retail setting. A credible competitor would need sufficient labour, plant and management capacity to remove a detached structure, safely manage service disconnections and removals, and reinstate public-realm finishes to the required standard. Experience of working for local-authority clients was an explicit requirement, alongside resources, capacity and relevant experience. Quality formed a substantial part of the assessment, so suppliers would need to evidence a robust delivery approach rather than compete on price alone. The opportunity was suitable for SMEs, and the eight final-stage bids show an active market of smaller contractors able to undertake this type of council works.
