Summary of the contracting process

St Helens Council procured construction works for fascias at Wargrave Primary School. The requirement concerns the construction and installation work needed for the school’s fascias, under a single procurement lot. The buying organisation is St Helens Council, a local public authority. Delivery is associated with the council’s area in the North West of England and the named school, Wargrave Primary School. This is a building-maintenance and construction opportunity rather than a supply-only contract or a professional services commission. It is relevant to contractors able to undertake fascias work in a live or operational school environment and to construction businesses serving St Helens and the surrounding area.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. EFT Construction Limited was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 17 July 2026 and runs from 20 July 2026 to 28 August 2026. Its value is £54,438.57 excluding VAT, or £65,326.28 including VAT. The original description gave an estimated value of £50,000 excluding VAT. The work was evaluated through the limited competition route; the available procurement information does not set out separate quality or price weightings. The award is active and the contract is active, so this record represents an awarded requirement rather than an opportunity to submit a bid.

This award shows that St Helens Council purchases relatively focused school-building construction work through below-threshold limited competitions. The successful supplier, EFT Construction Limited, is recorded as an SME, indicating that the requirement was suitable for a smaller construction business rather than only a major national contractor. Competitors seeking to be credible when a comparable fascias requirement returns would need practical construction capability, relevant experience delivering school or public-building works, and the capacity to complete a defined project within a short, fixed delivery window. Local contractors with an established North West operating base may be well placed to respond, particularly where they can demonstrate reliable site management, safe working around a school and the ability to manage the full fascias work package.
