Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool John Moores University commissioned refurbishment of the roof at its John Lennon Art & Design Building. This is building roof refurbishment and associated roofing and specialist trade construction work. The procurement covers one lot for the named building, with the delivery location recorded as the United Kingdom. The buyer is Liverpool John Moores University, a public university in Liverpool. The requirement is relevant to roofing and building contractors able to undertake refurbishment works on an institutional building; the award identifies a single supplier for the work.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Holloway Cook Associates Ltd. The award date was 15 May 2026. The contract value is £753,829 gross (£628,191 excluding VAT). The awarded contract period is 28 October 2026 to 16 April 2027, with an option to extend under the JCT contract, to a maximum extent date of 15 October 2027. The university used an open competition below the applicable threshold. Evaluation was based on price, weighted at 40%, and methodology, weighted at 60%. The original tender estimated the work at £125,000 gross; this is distinct from the higher value recorded for the award. Nine bids reached the final stage.

The award demonstrates demand from Liverpool John Moores University for substantial roof refurbishment at a university building. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to show the capability to assess and refurbish an institutional roof, plan and deliver specialist roofing and associated construction work, and set out a robust methodology alongside a competitive price. Methodology carried greater evaluation weight than price, so a strong technical approach and clear delivery planning are important, as well as cost control. The award went to Holloway Cook Associates Ltd, identified as an SME, showing that a smaller supplier was selected in this competition. The single-lot scope points to a requirement best suited to a contractor able to take responsibility for the full refurbishment rather than only a narrow trade package.
