Summary of the contracting process

South Kesteven District Council procured repair works to the bell turret and stonework at Grantham Guildhall. The requirement falls within building construction and civil engineering works, covering specialist repair and conservation activity to a historic public building. The council is based in Grantham and is the public body that bought the works. The awarded supplier was Hardy Construction (Stamford) Limited, an SME based in Saffron Walden. The delivery location is in the Grantham area. This opportunity is therefore relevant to contractors experienced in masonry repair, stonework, bell-turret works, historic building maintenance and associated construction activities, particularly those able to work on council-owned civic buildings in South Kesteven.

The procurement used a below-threshold limited competition and consisted of one completed lot. Hardy Construction (Stamford) Limited received the active award on 14 June 2025, when the contract was signed. The contract period ran from 28 June 2025 to 29 May 2026. Its value was £117,576.90 excluding VAT, or £141,092.10 including VAT. The recorded final value was £114,219.14 excluding VAT, or £137,062.97 including VAT. The contract was terminated on 19 August 2026, with the reason recorded as contract completed; implementation ended on 29 May 2026. The award was for works and was evaluated through the council’s limited-competition process. The award and contract related to the single requirement for Grantham Guildhall bell-turret and stonework repairs.

This procurement demonstrates demand from South Kesteven District Council for specialist building repair and conservation services on a civic heritage property. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need practical experience in masonry and stonework repairs, bell-turret construction or maintenance, and working safely on existing historic structures. Relevant capability would include diagnosing defects, planning repair methods, sourcing compatible materials, and delivering workmanship that protects the character and fabric of a listed or otherwise significant public building. The awarded supplier was an SME, indicating that this scale and type of council works can be delivered by a focused specialist contractor rather than only a major national construction business. Firms with local mobilisation capability, reliable site management and evidence of comparable public or heritage-building work would be well placed.
