Summary of the contracting process

Milton Keynes City Council commissioned building works at the Charities Hub in Galley Hill, Milton Keynes. The requirement was to rebuild the first-floor parapet wall of a steel-framed local-centre building containing an arts centre, meeting facilities and retail units. The scope included preparing and submitting the Building Control application and associated documentation, reconstructing the parapet in line with the proposed DSA drawings and planning approval PLN/2025/0172, and forming abutment and weathering details. The contractor also had to install flashing and a gutter at the parapet base to prevent water accumulation. The works are construction, roof repair and maintenance, and masonry and bricklaying services, to comply with relevant British Standards and Building Control requirements.

This below-threshold open competition has been awarded and the tender is complete. One lot was awarded to Gaskell Refurbishments Ltd. The award was active and the contract was signed on 7 September 2026. The contract value is £109,960.75 excluding VAT, or £131,952.90 including VAT. The contract period runs from 7 September to 20 November 2026. The tender had a submission deadline of 24 June 2026 at 5pm, with enquiries accepted until 15 June 2026 at 11.59pm. Evaluation was based on quality at 40% and price at 60%. The intended works were described as starting in August 2026 and taking approximately 10 weeks; the signed contract records the operative period above.

This procurement is relevant to contractors combining building refurbishment with specialist masonry and roofing capability. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need to manage a parapet-wall reconstruction on an occupied or community-use building, prepare and submit Building Control documentation, interpret design drawings and planning conditions, and deliver compliant junction, flashing and gutter details. Practical experience in brickwork, roof interfaces, weatherproofing and remedial construction would be directly relevant. The requirement also points to the ability to work to British Standards and to operate under a JCT Minor Works with Contractors’ Design 2024 contract. Firms with suitable design coordination, site-safety controls and experience delivering small, defined building-repair projects for local authorities would be well placed when this buyer next tests the requirement.
