UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

St Helens Council has concluded the procurement process for the "The Gamble Building - Enabling Works" under a limited competition model, classified as "Below threshold - limited competition." This procurement, focusing on works including the removal of outdated mechanical, electrical, and plumbing equipment, aims at pre-emptive measures before major redevelopment. Located in St Helens, United Kingdom, this project falls within the public authority sector under sub-central government classification. The contract commenced on 2nd March 2026 and is expected to finish by 2nd June 2026. Awarded to KROL CORLETT CONSTRUCTION LIMITED, the project was completed successfully with a gross contract amounting to GBP 177,875. The procurement stage is now in its award phase.

This project offers substantial business growth opportunities for firms specialising in construction works, particularly those experienced in enabling works and refurbishment projects. KROL CORLETT CONSTRUCTION LIMITED, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME), has secured the contract, indicating that similar companies could successfully compete in such tenders. With the expected start for main works in October 2026, businesses skilled in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing services, as well as asbestos removal, are well-suited to meet the requirements laid out by the St Helens Council, paving the way for streamlining operations and gaining efficiencies in the redevelopment sector.

Notice Information

Notice Title

The Gamble Building - Enabling Works

Notice Description

A building condition survey has recently been undertaken on The Gamble Building which has detailed the potential scope for an Enabling Works contract. The focus of the Enabling Works will include the removal of all redundant / end of life mechanical, electrical and plumbing equipment, stripping out of suspended ceilings, the removal of existing kitchen and bathroom facilities, the removal of flooring surfaces and any other activity which can realistically be undertaken in advance of the RIBA stage 4 design works and which will allow more detailed investigation of the building structure and fabric to provide greater design, programme, and cost surety as well as mitigating project risks. A Refurbishment & Demolition Asbestos Survey will be undertaken following the Archive decant to The World of Glass in order that the Enabling Works package can also safely remove asbestos present in the building which currently presents a risk in terms of the ongoing use of the building and modifications to such. The advantages of such an exercise relate to programme efficiencies for the overall redevelopment of this building, ahead of the main works which are expected to commence October 2026.
