UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Rochdale Borough Council procured refurbishment works at Meadowfield Community Centre in Rochdale. The building had been vacant for several years and requires refurbishment so it can return to use. The requirement is a works contract focused on renewing and preparing an existing community facility rather than constructing a new building. Delivery is in Rochdale, within the borough served by the council. The procurement covers one refurbishment requirement, managed by Rochdale Borough Council as the public-sector buyer. It is relevant to building contractors and refurbishment specialists able to undertake works to an existing vacant community centre and support its return to operational use. The classification for the requirement is refurbishment work (CPV 45453100).

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One contract was awarded to H. Bell & Sons (Rochdale) Limited, an SME. The award was made on 29 July 2026 and the contract was signed the same day. The contract period runs from 3 August 2026 to 26 October 2026. Its value is £289,755.23 excluding VAT, or £347,706.28 including VAT. The award covers the single Meadowfield Community Centre refurbishment requirement. The selected supplier is responsible for the refurbishment works under an active contract. The process used a limited procurement method rather than an open competition, and the tender was evaluated within the council’s below-threshold limited-competition route.

For a supplier that did not secure this contract, the award demonstrates a defined requirement for refurbishment of a vacant community facility for Rochdale Borough Council, at a scale suited to an SME contractor. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability in refurbishment works to existing buildings, together with the capacity to deliver a complete project that brings a community centre back into use. Local knowledge and the ability to work in Rochdale may be commercially useful, since the selected supplier is Rochdale-based, although the procurement data does not state that locality was a formal requirement. The route used was a below-threshold limited competition, so suppliers seeking comparable council work would need to monitor and respond effectively to targeted, smaller-value refurbishment opportunities.
