Summary of the contracting process

Northern Lighthouse Board is procuring works to re-roof its Grade A listed historic headquarters building. The requirement is conservation-led and includes temporary works and scaffolding, complete removal and replacement of roof coverings on the front and rear elevations, inspection and necessary replacement of sarking boards, a new breathable membrane, and installation of Spanish slate in diminishing courses to retain the building’s heritage appearance. Existing Scottish slate tiles must be carefully salvaged and transferred to a Scottish slate merchant. The scope also covers full replacement of leadwork, including flashings, ridges, skews and valleys, localised timber repairs to one dormer window, inspection and possible repair or replacement of gutters and downpipes, and provisional painting of timber-framed windows and timber doors. The work is for the United Kingdom.

The procurement reached tender: the Northern Lighthouse Board invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. This is a single-lot works contract, with electronic submission allowed. Questions could be submitted until 13 August 2026 at 15:00, and offers were due by 20 August 2026 at 14:00. The contract period is 21 September 2026 to 19 February 2027. The estimated value is £300,000 excluding VAT, or £360,000 including VAT. Evaluation uses a price-per-quality-point basis, with a stated weighting of 100, and bidders must complete the bill of quantities. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This opportunity suits roofing and specialist conservation contractors able to deliver sensitive work on a listed historic building, rather than routine roof replacement alone. Relevant capability includes high-quality slating, heritage roof detailing, leadwork to flashings, ridges, skews and valleys, temporary works and scaffolding, and careful protection or removal of existing materials. Suppliers should be able to inspect and repair timber and rainwater goods, manage provisional works, and carry out high-standard painting to timber windows and doors. Experience of conservation-led construction and working in accordance with listed building consent is particularly relevant. The requirement also calls for craftsmanship capable of retaining diminishing-course detailing and for the safe handling and transfer of salvaged Scottish slate. An SME-sized contractor may be well placed to compete.
