Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Garswood Primary Remodelling" contract, conducted by St Helens Council, focuses on the remodelling work of Garswood Primary School in St Helens, UK. Identified under the procurement ID 020858, the tender falls under the "works" category, specifically primary school construction, and employs a procurement method described as "Below threshold - limited competition." The process has reached the award stage, with the contract status marked as active from 20th July 2026 to 28th August 2026. St Helens Council, a sub-central government public authority, has selected LINK CONTRACTING SERVICES LIMITED as the successful supplier with a contract value of GBP 52,505.

This tender presents business growth opportunities primarily for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in construction work, particularly those with expertise in educational infrastructure remodelling. Given the specialised nature of the work and its classification as a concession under special regimes, businesses with a proven track record in delivering high-quality, timely projects within the public sector will find this opportunity well-suited to their capabilities. The limited competition procurement approach further indicates the need for suppliers who can meet specific performance and delivery criteria. As such, companies experienced in collaborating with public authorities and ensuring compliance with relevant UK legislation will likely achieve competitive advantage.
