UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Rochdale Borough Council procured building and refurbishment works for three residential properties across the Borough of Rochdale. The properties were uninhabitable but inspections indicated that they were structurally sound and could be refurbished rather than demolished. The purpose was to bring each property above the relevant housing standards under the Housing Act 2004 and meet lettable requirements. Although the individual properties required different types of work, the requirement covered all three properties as a single contract. This is a residential property refurbishment opportunity for contractors able to manage varied remedial and construction works across multiple sites within Rochdale.

The procurement is complete and one contract was awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The single contract covered all three properties. Rochdale Borough Council awarded it to F.S. MOULT & SON LTD on 6 July 2026. The contract was signed on that date and runs from 6 July 2026 to 5 November 2026. Its value is £259,643 excluding VAT, or £311,571.60 including VAT. The requirement was classified as construction work. The selected supplier is an SME. The contract is recorded as active, while the related tender is complete. The procurement used a limited procedure for a below-threshold competition.

This award provides a clear indication of Rochdale Borough Council’s demand for contractors that can refurbish multiple uninhabitable homes and return them to a lettable standard. A credible competitor for similar work would need practical construction and property refurbishment capability, including the capacity to assess varied requirements across several residential sites and coordinate delivery as one programme. Experience of remedial works in structurally sound but non-habitable properties would be relevant, as would an understanding of the Housing Act 2004 standards and the requirements for bringing homes back into use. The single-contract approach also favours suppliers able to manage a borough-wide multi-property package rather than only isolated small works.
