UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Rochdale Borough Council procured construction works to convert Littleborough Nursery into a Family Hub. The requirement covers the physical conversion of an existing nursery building for use as a family hub, with delivery in the Rochdale area. The main work category is construction. The council is the public-sector buyer and the project is associated with Littleborough, within the Rochdale borough. The awarded supplier, H. Bell & Sons (Rochdale) Limited, is a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Rochdale. This is a building and refurbishment opportunity for construction contractors able to deliver public-sector premises conversion works for a local authority, rather than a supply-only or professional-services requirement.

The procurement has reached completion and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to H. Bell & Sons (Rochdale) Limited. The tender description gave an estimated value of £2,316,930 excluding VAT. The signed contract value is £2,155,753.62 excluding VAT and £2,586,904.34 including VAT. The contract was signed on 16 October 2025 and runs from 17 October 2025 to 7 August 2026. The contract is active, while the tender is complete. The stated basis was a limited competition below the applicable threshold. The award covers the construction works for converting Littleborough Nursery into a Family Hub for Rochdale Borough Council.

This award demonstrates local-authority demand for substantial building conversion works to create family and community facilities. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need the construction capacity to manage a whole-building conversion, coordinate trades and deliver an operational public facility for a council. Local delivery capability may be commercially useful, as the successful supplier is based in Rochdale and the project is in Littleborough. The procurement also shows that Rochdale Borough Council has used a below-threshold limited competition route for this scale of works, so suppliers should be prepared to respond efficiently to targeted competitions and demonstrate reliable delivery, suitable project management and experience of comparable refurbishment or adaptation work.
