Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council procured scaffolding works to support Phase 1 of the roof replacement at Horsforth Featherbank Primary School. The requirement covers the erection and dismantling of scaffolding needed to enable the school roofing project, making this a construction support and access-services opportunity rather than the roof replacement itself. The work is classified as construction works, specifically scaffolding erection and scaffolding dismantling. Leeds City Council is the public-sector buyer and the delivery location is Horsforth, Leeds. The requirement relates to one defined package of work for the school project. It would suit scaffolding contractors able to provide safe temporary access and working platforms for building refurbishment, coordinate with roofing or wider construction teams, and undertake both installation and removal activities.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold open competition. The tender closed on 4 June 2026 at 12:00, with enquiries ending on 29 May 2026 at 12:00. There was one lot, evaluated on price only. Louis James Scaffolding Ltd was awarded the contract, which was signed on 13 July 2026. The contract value is £29,440 excluding VAT and £35,328 including VAT. The contract period runs from 13 July 2026 to 23 November 2026. The associated lot period was stated as 20 July 2026 to 1 October 2026. The award is active and the contract is active. The requirement was below the relevant threshold and electronic submission was allowed during the competition.

This award indicates that Leeds City Council uses an open, price-led route to procure specialist scaffolding for school refurbishment and roof replacement projects. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to deliver both scaffolding erection and dismantling, provide temporary access that supports roofing works safely, and work effectively around an operational education setting and other contractors. The successful supplier is a small or medium-sized scaffolding business, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist SME rather than only by a large principal contractor. Relevant firms should be able to demonstrate practical capacity for a single-site construction package, dependable mobilisation, safe site coordination and the competence to remove the scaffold after the associated works are complete.
