Summary of the contracting process

St Helens Council procured fire doors for Sutton Oak Primary School. The requirement is works involving the supply and installation of fire doors in a primary-school setting, with associated primary school construction work. Delivery is in St Helens, supporting the council’s local education estate. The procurement covered one complete lot and was intended to address the school’s fire-door requirements. This is relevant to construction contractors, specialist fire-door suppliers and installers, and firms experienced in carrying out building works in operational or education environments. The named public-sector buyer is St Helens Council, based at Town Hall, St Helens. The awarded supplier was EFT Construction Limited, a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Southport.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to EFT Construction Limited. The award was made on 31 July 2026, and the contract was signed the same day. The contract period runs from 3 August 2026 to 2 October 2026. Its value is £24,535.50 excluding VAT, or £29,442.60 including VAT. St Helens Council used a below-threshold limited competition, described as a limited procurement method, for one lot. The award is active and the contract is active. Evaluation resulted in a single supplier being selected for the fire-door works. The procurement was treated as a concession special-regime process, although the published requirement concerns works at Sutton Oak Primary School. No separate award values or additional lots are reported.

This award provides a clear indication of demand from St Helens Council for relatively small-scale, time-bounded fire-door works at a primary school. Businesses well placed for a future requirement of this type would be able to supply and install fire doors and manage associated construction activity in a school environment. Relevant capability includes practical delivery of fire-door replacement or installation works, coordination with a public-sector client, and completion of building works at an education site. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement was deliverable by a smaller construction business rather than only a major national contractor. Firms considering similar council work should be able to demonstrate dependable site delivery, suitable fire-door expertise and experience managing a focused works package.
