Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool Hope University procured roof replacement works for the Eden Building. The requirement was to remove the existing roof and install a new covering, including associated specialist roofing construction work. Delivery was in Liverpool, within Merseyside. This was a works contract for the university’s estate, rather than a supply-only or consultancy opportunity. The procurement was reserved for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises located in Merseyside. The named buyer was Liverpool Hope University, based at Hope Park in Liverpool. The requirement would suit roofing contractors with the capability to manage removal of an existing building roof and complete a replacement covering as a planned construction project.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. It had one lot. Six bids were received, with five reaching the final stage, all from SMEs. The contract was awarded on 9 September 2026 to A.A.C. Waterproofing Limited. The awarded value is £40,000 excluding VAT (£48,000 including VAT). The tender-stage contract period was 1 September to 30 October 2026; the awarded contract period is 28 September to 23 November 2026. Bidders needed to be approved installers for the Protan roofing system. Evaluation was based on price and quality measures set out in the tender pack. Electronic submission was allowed, with enquiries closing on 17 July 2026 and bids due by 7 August 2026 at noon.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist roof replacement at Liverpool Hope University and shows that the buyer used an open, below-threshold competition aimed at local SMEs. A credible future competitor would need current approval to install Protan roofing systems, practical experience removing existing roofs and fitting replacement coverings, and the workforce, supervision and equipment to deliver construction works safely on an occupied university estate. The evaluation indicates that both commercial pricing and quality of the proposed approach matter, so suppliers should be able to evidence robust methods, programme control, workmanship and relevant technical competence rather than compete on price alone. Merseyside-based SMEs and eligible local social enterprises were particularly well placed for this requirement.
