Summary of the contracting process

Newcastle City Council procured re-roofing and associated roof repair and maintenance works for Hotspur Primary School, under the project title “Hotspur Roofing Phase 3”. The requirement is a building works contract, with the council acting as principal contractor for purposes of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations. The work is associated with the Newcastle upon Tyne area and concerns the repair or replacement of an existing school roof. The buyer is a sub-central public authority. The requirement was arranged as one package rather than separate service categories, so a supplier would need to provide a coherent roofing solution for the school rather than an isolated specialist service. The procurement is relevant to roofing contractors with experience delivering public-sector refurbishment or repair works in an operational education setting.

The procurement has been awarded following a completed open procedure. Four bids reached the final stage, including four from SMEs. The tender closed at 14:00 on 26 May 2026, with enquiries closing at 12:00 the same day and the award period ending on 26 May 2026. The tender estimate was £300,000 gross. The contract was awarded to JOHN FLOWERS LIMITED on 4 August 2026 for £175,826.28 excluding VAT, or £210,991.54 gross. The awarded contract period runs from 18 August 2026 to 31 January 2027. The single lot was evaluated on cost weighted at 70% and quality at 30%, and was identified as suitable for SMEs. The recorded award is active, with a scheduled signature date of 11 August 2026.

This award provides a useful benchmark for roofing businesses targeting Newcastle City Council’s school estate. The successful supplier is an SME, and the requirement attracted four final-stage bids, indicating that a specialist smaller contractor can compete for this type of public-sector roofing work. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability in roof repair, re-roofing and maintenance, with sufficient labour, supervision and supply-chain capacity to deliver a complete school-roof package. Experience of working in education buildings would help, particularly where construction activity must be planned around safeguarding, access and continued school operations. Suppliers should also be able to work within the principal-contractor arrangements and meet CDM responsibilities, while presenting a strong quality submission as well as competitive pricing. The procurement shows that both delivery quality and cost materially influence the council’s selection.
