Summary of the contracting process

St Helens Council, a sub-central government public authority located in the United Kingdom, has completed the procurement process for the boiler replacement at Garswood Primary School. Situated in the UKD71 region, the council supervises procurement activities from its Town Hall address in St Helens. The procurement, categorised under 'works' with CPV codes for boiler installations and primary school construction work, followed a limited competition method, indicative of a below-threshold process. The contract for this project was awarded on 31st July 2026 to SENATE MECH LIMITED, an SME based in Liverpool, with the active contract period starting immediately on 31st July 2026 and concluding on 27th August 2026. The total contract value is £133,835.35, with a gross amount realised at £111,529.46.

This procurement presents significant potential for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in boiler installations and primary school construction work, consistent with the project's core requirements. Contracting with public authorities like St Helens Council can open doors to future tendering opportunities and ongoing collaborations within the public sector, especially for businesses meeting specific industry standards and showing proficiency in similar construction and maintenance tasks. Given the limited competition framework applied, it highlights opportunities for niche service providers in the infrastructure maintenance sector to engage and establish long-term public sector relationships. Businesses capable of delivering quality under time constraints while maintaining compliance with governmental standards are particularly well-suited to bids of this nature.
