Summary of the contracting process

Cheshire West and Chester Council procured demolition works at the Dingle Centre in Winsford. The requirement is the demolition of the centre, with the associated classification describing construction work. The delivery location is Winsford, within the council’s area. This is a single-site works requirement for a contractor able to plan and carry out building demolition safely and complete the associated construction-related activities. The council is the public-sector buyer and contracting authority. The work is specific to the Dingle Centre rather than a wider demolition framework or multi-site programme, so relevant businesses are those that undertake demolition and related enabling or construction works for local authorities and similar public bodies. The procurement has now reached completion, with the requirement awarded to a supplier.

The procurement used a below-threshold limited competition and was divided into one lot. The tender is complete. Connell Brothers Limited was selected as the supplier, and the contract was signed on 3 August 2026. The contract is valued at £114,000 gross, in GBP, and runs from 19 August 2026 to 31 October 2026. The contract is recorded as active. The award relates to the demolition works for the Dingle Centre. This outcome shows that the council used a limited route rather than an open competition for a relatively focused, below-threshold works requirement. The award was not cancelled and the contract has not been terminated. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and the agreed contract value and period.

This procurement is relevant to demolition contractors and construction firms with the practical capability to deliver a defined public-sector building demolition project for Cheshire West and Chester Council. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need demonstrable experience of controlled demolition, site management, health and safety, waste handling and coordination with the council and other local stakeholders. The awarded supplier is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that the requirement was deliverable by an SME rather than only a national major contractor. Businesses with a similar scale, local-authority experience and the resources to manage a short, single-site works contract would be well placed to compete when this type of requirement returns.
