Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by St Helens Council, a sub-central government public authority, involved the remodelling of Rectory Primary School. Situated in St Helens, United Kingdom, with the postal code WA10 1HP, this project fell under the construction work category. It employed a limited procurement method due to the below-threshold nature of the project. The process involved completing multiple stages, reaching its award stage with key contract dates spanning from 20th July 2026 to 28th August 2026. The tender title for this project was "Rectory Primary School Remodelling," capped at a value of £150,000. The procurement was officially awarded on 17th July 2026 and the resulting contract was signed subsequently, with the contract notice being published on 21st July 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in construction and remodelling activities, particularly those capable of undertaking works under limited competition conditions. SMEs, like LINK CONTRACTING SERVICES LIMITED—a business based in Wigan that successfully won the contract—are ideally suited to compete in such procurement processes. This project offers a pathway to enhance business portfolios in educational infrastructure projects, providing potential for future work invitations within public sector developments, specifically those managed by sub-central government bodies like St Helens Council.
