Summary of the contracting process

West Lindsey District Council procured works to repair the northern boundary wall at the Trinity Arts Centre, Trinity Street, Gainsborough, Lincolnshire. The requirement is a construction project focused on restoring or making good an existing boundary wall at this community arts venue. The council is the public-sector buyer and the work relates to the Trinity Arts Centre site in Gainsborough. The procurement is a single requirement rather than a multi-service programme, so it is most relevant to building contractors and specialist firms able to undertake wall repair and associated construction works at an operational public or community building. The awarded supplier, T G Sowerby Developments Limited, is based in Scunthorpe and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to T G Sowerby Developments Limited. The award was made on 14 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £150,981.10 excluding VAT, or £181,177.20 including VAT. The procurement was below the applicable threshold, using a procedure recorded as “below threshold - unknown”. The tender status is complete and the award and contract are active. The construction work was evaluated through the procurement process, although the published outcome does not state the award criteria or weighting. The contract covers the single wall-repair requirement at Trinity Arts Centre.

This award provides a clear indication that West Lindsey District Council uses smaller construction businesses for targeted repair works at its buildings. Competitors seeking similar work would need practical capability in repairing existing boundary walls and carrying out construction works safely around a public arts venue. Relevant firms are likely to be established building contractors or specialist repair contractors with suitable site-management, labour, materials and equipment capacity for a discrete project rather than a major infrastructure programme. Experience of diagnosing defects, planning remedial works, coordinating with a public-sector client and completing durable repairs would strengthen credibility. The successful supplier’s SME status also shows that the requirement can suit a focused local or regional contractor with the necessary construction capability.
