Summary of the contracting process

Lichfield District Council commissioned works at the Stowe Pool Boathouse. The requirement covers a full internal refurbishment, external roof replacement and associated making-good works. This is a building refurbishment and repair project, including internal construction trades, roofing and finishing work. The council is a public authority based in Lichfield, and the named project identifies the Stowe Pool Boathouse as the facility involved. The procurement is relevant to building contractors able to manage a small, defined refurbishment package and coordinate multiple work areas within an existing boathouse. Relevant capability includes internal renovation, roof replacement, remedial making-good and associated finishing works. The work is classified as refurbishment work, covering the complete requirement rather than a separate supply of materials or standalone consultancy services.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was completed. Lichfield District Council awarded the work to ASCOT SERVICES UK LIMITED on 25 July 2026. The contract was signed on 25 July 2026 and runs from 27 July 2026 to 11 September 2026, with a maximum extension date of 21 September 2026. Its value is £53,607.38 excluding VAT and £64,328.86 including VAT. The contract includes a 20% optional extension. The award is active and the contract is active. The published procurement data identifies refurbishment work as the classification. The process used a limited route rather than an open competition, with the requirement treated as below threshold.

For a contractor that did not win this award, the procurement provides a clear indication of the council’s demand for compact building-refurbishment projects delivered through a limited competition. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need practical experience of refurbishing existing public or community buildings, replacing roofs, carrying out internal construction and completing associated making-good works. The successful supplier is recorded as an SME, showing that the package was suitable for a smaller specialist or regional contractor rather than only a major national firm. Businesses would be well placed if they can coordinate several trades, control work in an occupied or operational setting where required, manage quality across structural and finishing tasks, and demonstrate reliable delivery of a complete refurbishment package.
