Summary of the contracting process

Knowsley Council procured roof access and fall protection works at Plantation Primary School. The project covers creating access through the existing single-storey, brick-built school roof to plant equipment, including installing a roof hatch, access ladder and handrail system. It also includes edge protection to reduce the risk of falls from height. The work concerns felt flat roofs and falls within roof works and other specialist construction. Delivery is at the school in the Knowsley area. The requirement is for a building contractor with experience in roof access installations, roof safety systems and construction work in an occupied or operational school environment.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Marshall Property Construction Limited. It used a below-threshold limited competition. There was one lot. The contract was signed on 15 July 2026 and runs from 16 July 2026 to 30 July 2026, with works expected to take two weeks. The awarded value is £53,443.12 excluding VAT, or £64,131.74 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition route under the applicable procurement process. The selected supplier is a Liverpool-based small and medium-sized enterprise.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for practical roof safety and access works within a local authority school estate. Suppliers well placed for comparable future requirements would be roofing or specialist construction contractors able to create roof openings, install hatches, ladders, handrails and edge protection, and coordinate work safely at height. Credibility would depend on relevant completed projects, competent operatives, robust health and safety arrangements, and the capacity to deliver a focused package of works within a short programme. Experience working in schools or other public buildings would help demonstrate awareness of safeguarding, site access, disruption and coordination requirements. The award also shows that a small or medium-sized construction business can deliver this type of council requirement.
