UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council procured works to demolish Whitfield House. The requirement is a building-demolition project, involving construction-related work at the council’s site in Stockport and the surrounding Greater Manchester area. The council is the public-sector buyer and the work was treated as a single requirement rather than being divided into multiple lots. The selected supplier, J. FREELEY LIMITED, is based in Manchester and is classified as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The procurement therefore relates to practical demolition and associated construction work for a named property, rather than to consultancy, design, routine maintenance or the supply of goods. Businesses whose core work is building demolition or closely related construction work would be the most relevant comparators for this requirement.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to J. FREELEY LIMITED following a below-threshold limited competition. The award covered the single lot. The contract was signed on 12 December 2025, ran from 15 December 2025 to 23 January 2026, and had a net value of £44,970, or a gross value of £53,964, in GBP. The award was active and the contract was active. The tender description gave an estimated figure of £55,000 excluding VAT. The contract value is below the applicable threshold. The available procurement record identifies construction work as the relevant classification and confirms that the council selected one supplier for the full requirement.

This completed procurement is a useful market signal for demolition contractors serving Stockport and the wider Greater Manchester area. It shows that the council has bought a discrete building-demolition package through a below-threshold limited competition, with the full requirement awarded to one supplier rather than split between providers. A credible competitor for a similar future requirement would need demonstrated capability to deliver demolition and associated construction work for a named public-sector property, and the capacity to take responsibility for the whole package. J. FREELEY LIMITED’s classification as an SME also indicates that this type of council works contract can be delivered by a smaller specialist business, rather than only by a national construction group.
