Summary of the contracting process

St Helens Council commissioned works to provide fire doors at Robins Lane Primary School. The requirement is a construction and building-works project focused on fire-door installation or replacement within a primary school setting. The work is associated with the council’s responsibilities as a local public authority and is delivered at Robins Lane Primary School in St Helens. The selected contractor is Link Contracting Services Limited, a Wigan-based small or medium-sized enterprise. This opportunity is relevant to contractors experienced in fire-door works, school or public-building refurbishment, and the safe delivery of construction activities in an occupied or operational education environment. Businesses supplying wider construction services may also find it relevant where they have a specific fire-door capability and can meet the practical requirements of working on a school site.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. There was one lot. Link Contracting Services Limited received the award for the fire-door works. The contract was signed on 17 July 2026, with a contract period from 20 July 2026 to 28 August 2026. Its value is £49,124 excluding VAT, or £58,948.80 including VAT. The original tender description referred to an estimated value of £30,000 excluding VAT. The award is recorded as active and the contract is also active. The published information identifies construction work as the procurement category. The available outcome information records the selected supplier and contract terms, but does not provide a separate award date or detailed scoring breakdown.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement from St Helens Council for specialist fire-door construction works in a primary school, delivered by a small or medium-sized contractor. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need practical experience installing or replacing fire doors and managing associated construction work in public buildings. Relevant strengths would include the ability to plan and control work on an education site, protect building users and staff, coordinate access and sequencing, and complete work to the required standard within a short delivery programme. Contractors with a focused fire-safety or passive-fire-protection offer, supported by reliable site management and suitable construction capacity, would be well placed to demonstrate relevance when this buyer assesses similar school-building requirements.
