UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Worcester procured building works to repair parapets and associated roofing at its estate in Worcester. The requirement falls within the roof repair category and concerns physical construction and maintenance work rather than consultancy, supplies or routine facilities management. The work was for the university as the public-sector buyer, with delivery in Worcester. The scope is focused: roofing works, specifically parapet repairs, rather than a broad roofing, refurbishment or multi-trade programme. This is relevant to roofing contractors, building maintenance firms and construction businesses with practical experience of diagnosing and carrying out parapet and roof repairs on institutional premises. Suppliers serving university, public-sector or commercial property estates may find the requirement representative of work that such buyers commission for their buildings.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. The University of Worcester used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, covering one completed lot. The contract was awarded to Central Roofing and Building Services Limited, an SME based in Hereford, on 20 May 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and ran from 20 May to 20 June 2026. Its value was £36,837.08 excluding VAT, or £44,204.50 including VAT. The supplier’s award status and contract status are active in the published outcome. As this was a non-competitive below-threshold award, suppliers were not evaluated through an open bidding exercise for this requirement. The procurement therefore provides a clear example of the buyer’s selected route for this roofing repair work.

This award indicates demand from the University of Worcester for specialist roof repair and building-maintenance capability, focused on parapet repairs. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need practical roofing and construction skills, the ability to assess defective parapets and complete remedial works safely, and sufficient short-term capacity to deliver a defined repair package on a university estate. Experience working around occupied institutional buildings would be commercially relevant, as would the ability to coordinate site activities, protect surrounding areas and leave completed repairs fit for use. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that a business of this scale can be suitable for the requirement. Roofing contractors and regional building-services firms should monitor this buyer’s future estate-maintenance needs.
