UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Canterbury City Council procured balcony remedial works and replacement at Artillery House, Dragoon House and three further blocks on Union Street in Canterbury. The requirement covers specialist construction work to repair and replace balconies, with the detailed scope set out in the tender documents. Delivery is in Canterbury for the Council as the public-sector buyer. This is a works contract rather than a supply or general consultancy opportunity, and is relevant to contractors with experience of balcony refurbishment, structural repair and replacement work on occupied or multi-block residential buildings. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement covering the identified buildings, rather than separate service categories.

The procurement is complete: the contract was awarded to JB Specialist Refurbishments Limited on 28 July 2026 and the contract was signed on 2 September 2026. The awarded value is £329,441 excluding VAT (£395,329.20 including VAT). The signed contract runs from 28 September 2026 to 27 September 2027; the award record gives a delivery period from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. It was a below-threshold open competition. Seven bids were received and six reached the final stage, all from SMEs. Evaluation weighted quality at 40% and price at 60%. The original estimated value was £200,000 excluding VAT (£240,000 including VAT).

This award shows Canterbury City Council has demand for specialist balcony remedial and replacement work across several residential blocks, at a scale requiring a dedicated construction contractor rather than a general maintenance supplier. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in balcony repair and replacement, the capacity to coordinate work across multiple buildings in Canterbury, and the ability to deliver a defined construction programme under a Council contract. Quality formed a substantial part of the evaluation, so evidence of sound technical methods, workmanship and project delivery would matter alongside competitive pricing. The competition attracted seven bids and six final-stage bidders, including six SMEs, indicating that specialist smaller contractors can compete for this type of requirement.
