Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by St Helens Council for the provision of fire doors at Sutton Oak Primary School has reached its award stage, with a contract signed on 31st July 2026. The procurement, categorised under construction works for primary schools and fire doors, utilised a limited competition method due to its below-threshold value. This process is located within the UKD7 region of the United Kingdom, specifically in St Helens. EFT Construction Limited was awarded the contract, which is valued at £24,535.50, excluding VAT, and covers a period from 3rd August to 2nd October 2026.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in specialised construction work, particularly those focusing on educational facilities and safety installations such as fire doors. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with a focus on construction and infrastructure could find similar procurement opportunities beneficial for growth, especially those looking to expand within the public sector under sub-central government authorities like St Helens Council. Companies that can offer competitive solutions for niche yet essential services such as safety enhancements in educational settings are well-positioned to seize similar opportunities.
