UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

St Helens Council procured the demolition of Rectory Primary School, a construction and demolition works requirement. The scope is associated with removing the school structure and completing the related groundwork and construction activity needed for the site, as described by the procurement’s works classification. The requirement was delivered in the St Helens area of the United Kingdom. It was a single requirement rather than a group of separately described services, and the council was the organisation buying and managing the work. This opportunity is therefore relevant to demolition contractors, groundwork specialists and construction businesses with experience of safely carrying out building demolition and associated site works for a local authority or public-sector client.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One supplier was selected: JOHN WADE GROUNDWORKS LIMITED. The contract was signed on 16 July 2026, with a contract period from 10 August 2026 to 1 September 2026. Its value is £83,900 excluding VAT and £100,680 including VAT. The award covers the single Rectory Primary School Demolition requirement. The recorded award is active and the contract is active, while the tender status is complete. This was a limited procedure rather than an open competition, so the council invited a restricted field of suppliers to compete. The procurement used the construction-work category and was below the relevant threshold.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the result demonstrates that St Helens Council buys short-duration demolition and associated construction works through a below-threshold limited competition. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in structural demolition, groundwork and site clearance, together with the resources to mobilise and complete a school-site project safely within a tightly defined delivery window. Relevant experience of working around public buildings, managing health and safety, controlling environmental and site risks, and coordinating with a local-authority client would strengthen a supplier’s position. The awarded supplier was an SME, showing that this scale and route can suit smaller specialist contractors as well as larger construction businesses.
