Summary of the contracting process

Blackburn with Darwen procured roof replacement works for Darwen Valley Community Centre at 59–61 Sudellside Street, Darwen, BB3 3DL. The requirement covered the replacement of the centre’s roof, classified as roof repair and maintenance work. Blackburn with Darwen was the buying organisation and council responsible for the procurement. The work is categorised as construction works rather than goods or general services. It relates to a single community-centre site in Darwen and was structured as one lot. The requirement is therefore relevant to roofing contractors and construction businesses able to plan and deliver roof replacement works on a public community facility, including firms operating in Lancashire and nearby areas.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Gables UK Limited, a small or medium-sized enterprise. The contract was signed on 2 July 2026 and awarded on an active basis. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 18 October 2026. Its value is £120,914 excluding VAT, or £145,096.80 including VAT. The procurement was below the applicable threshold, using a route recorded as “Below threshold - unknown”. The single lot is complete. The award covers the full roof replacement works for Darwen Valley Community Centre, with roof repair and maintenance work as the relevant classification. Blackburn with Darwen is the contracting authority.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Blackburn with Darwen for specialist roofing works at a public community facility, delivered through a below-threshold procurement route. A competitor preparing for a comparable future requirement would need practical capability in roof replacement and associated repair and maintenance work, together with the capacity to manage a complete single-site construction package. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that the scale and procurement route can suit smaller established contractors rather than only national construction groups. Relevant businesses should be able to demonstrate dependable site delivery, competent planning and coordination, and experience undertaking public-sector or similar community-building roofing projects to the required standard.
