Summary of the contracting process

St Helens Council procured high-level window works at Allanson Street Primary School in St Helens. The requirement is classified as construction work and concerns the school’s high-level windows, covering the physical works needed to improve or replace those installations. The council is the public-sector buyer, and the work is associated with the St Helens area. This is a construction opportunity for contractors experienced in building fabric, window installation or replacement, and working on school premises. Its focus is a defined site-based works package rather than a wider property maintenance, facilities management or consultancy service. Businesses whose core work is commercial construction or specialist window installation are the most relevant audience for this requirement.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It comprised one lot. EFT Construction Limited was selected as the supplier, with the contract signed on 17 July 2026. The contract runs from 20 July 2026 to 28 August 2026. Its value is £62,929.54 excluding VAT, or £75,515.45 including VAT. The awarded contract covers the construction works associated with the Allanson Street Primary School high-level windows. The published outcome records the contract as active. The process used a limited procurement route rather than an open competition, so the opportunity was handled through a restricted field of potential suppliers. The available data does not set out separate evaluation weightings or additional lots.

For competitors, this award provides a clear example of St Helens Council buying a focused school-building works package through a below-threshold limited competition. Businesses well placed for a future requirement of this type would be construction contractors or specialist window firms able to deliver high-level window works safely and efficiently in an occupied or operational primary-school environment. Relevant capability would include surveying existing window installations, planning access and working at height, coordinating site activities, protecting pupils and staff, and completing installation or replacement works to an acceptable construction standard. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that this type of council requirement can suit smaller construction businesses with the specialist skills, supervision and delivery capacity to manage a defined, short-duration site project.
