Summary of the contracting process

St Helens Council procured works to remodel Rectory Primary School. The requirement is a construction project focused on altering and improving an existing primary school building, rather than the supply of standalone goods or professional services. The work is associated with Rectory Primary School and is delivered in the United Kingdom. The buyer is St Helens Council, a local public authority. The procurement covers one requirement and one supplier was selected for the construction works. The recorded classification is CPV 45000000, covering construction work. This opportunity is therefore relevant to building contractors and construction businesses with experience of remodelling or refurbishing education premises, particularly firms able to undertake works for a local authority in a live or operational school environment.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It used a limited procedure rather than an open tender, and the requirement was not divided into multiple lots. LINK CONTRACTING SERVICES LIMITED was awarded the contract, which was signed on 17 July 2026. The contract runs from 20 July 2026 to 28 August 2026. Its value is £122,573 excluding VAT, or £147,087.60 including VAT. The contract is recorded as active and the award is active. The available procurement record identifies construction works as the evaluated requirement but does not set out separate quality, price or technical weightings. The award relates to the complete Rectory Primary School remodelling requirement.

This procurement provides a clear example of St Helens Council’s demand for small, defined construction projects in primary-school buildings. The selected supplier is recorded as an SME, showing that the requirement was within the potential capacity of a smaller construction business rather than being limited to a major national contractor. A credible competitor for similar work would need practical building and refurbishment capability, experience coordinating remodelling works in an education setting, and the resources to deliver a complete project within a tightly bounded programme. It would also need to monitor and respond to the council’s limited-competition procurement route, prepare concise evidence of relevant construction experience, and demonstrate dependable project management, site safety and coordination around a school environment.
