Summary of the contracting process

North East Lincolnshire Borough Council commissioned conservation and refurbishment works to Grimsby Town Hall, a Grade II listed building. The scope includes masonry and timber repairs, roofing and lead works, repairs or replacement of cast-iron rainwater goods, and decoration. This is specialist building conservation and refurbishment work, rather than general construction alone. The work is at Grimsby Town Hall in Grimsby, North East Lincolnshire. The council is the buyer and appointed a contractor to deliver the works. The requirement is a single package covering several fabric and roofing trades on a historic public building.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Hobson and Porter Limited. The award is active, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 29 September 2026, with a contract period from 2 November 2026 to 8 March 2027. Its value is £337,786.08 excluding VAT (£405,343.30 including VAT). The council used an open competition below the threshold, with electronic submission allowed. There was one lot, assessed on quality (40%) and cost (60%). The original submission deadline was extended; the final submission deadline was 26 June 2026, and the deadline for questions was 23 June 2026.

This award shows demand from North East Lincolnshire Borough Council for coordinated conservation and refurbishment of a listed civic building. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need proven experience working on historic buildings and the practical capability to undertake masonry and timber repairs, roofing and lead work, cast-iron rainwater goods and decoration within one project. The chosen contractor is an SME, and the lot was marked suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller firms could compete. The award’s weighting gave quality a substantial role alongside cost, so a strong future offer would need to demonstrate relevant conservation experience, reliable delivery across the trades and a competitive price. The requirement is best suited to a building contractor able to manage specialist heritage repairs as an integrated package.
