Summary of the contracting process

St Helens Council commissioned works to remodel Garswood Primary School. The requirement is primary school construction work, covering the remodelling of the school premises. Delivery is in the St Helens area of the United Kingdom. The procurement was treated as works and included one completed lot. The appointed contractor is Link Contracting Services Limited, a Wigan-based small or medium-sized enterprise. This is a building and refurbishment requirement for a primary education setting, rather than a supply-only or professional services opportunity. Businesses considering comparable education estate work should have relevant construction, refurbishment and site-delivery capability for operating in or around an occupied or functioning school environment.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Link Contracting Services Limited through a limited competition below the applicable threshold. The contract was signed on 20 July 2026 and is active, with a delivery period from 20 July 2026 to 28 August 2026. Its value is £52,505 gross, including one completed lot. The award covers primary school remodelling works for Garswood Primary School. The process used a limited rather than open procedure, so suppliers were selected to participate before competition. The published outcome identifies the requirement as a concession-regime procurement. The award is active and the contract remains the relevant commercial outcome of this process.

This outcome demonstrates demand from St Helens Council for focused primary-school remodelling and construction work delivered by a smaller contractor. Competitors seeking similar future work for this buyer would need practical experience in school refurbishment, building construction and managing delivery against a short, defined programme. They would also need the organisational capacity to coordinate trades, materials, site logistics and safe working in an education environment. A credible supplier profile would combine hands-on construction capability with reliable project management, quality control and completion discipline. Firms of small or medium size with relevant education-sector case studies and the ability to deliver modest standalone works packages would be well aligned with the requirement demonstrated here.
