UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Rochdale Borough Council procured internal and external refurbishment and remodelling works at the existing Grade II listed Touchstones building on The Esplanade, Rochdale. The requirement covers construction work associated with the building’s Zone 2 roof and first floor. The buyer is a sub-central public authority responsible for the Touchstones premises. Delivery is in Rochdale, within the wider Greater Manchester area. This opportunity is therefore relevant to contractors able to undertake substantial building refurbishment, remodelling and roof-related works in an occupied or operational public cultural building, with the capability to work on a listed property and manage both internal and external construction activities. The procurement concerned one package of works rather than separately described service or supply requirements.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. One package of works was awarded to Schofield and Sons Ltd. The award is active and the contract was signed on 14 July 2026. The contract runs from 27 July 2026 to 26 July 2028. Its value is £2,573,354.64 excluding VAT, or £3,088,025.57 including VAT. The evaluation resulted in the selection of Schofield and Sons Ltd for the Touchstones Zone 2 roof and first floor works. The process used a limited procedure rather than an open competition, and the tender status is complete. The contract is below the applicable threshold. No separate lot-level scope or evaluation weighting is provided beyond the single package of construction works.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the outcome demonstrates that Rochdale Borough Council places substantial construction and refurbishment requirements through a below-threshold limited competition route. A credible future competitor would need a proven ability to deliver internal and external refurbishment and remodelling, including roof and first-floor works, at a substantial public-building scale. Experience working with Grade II listed buildings would be important, because the Touchstones requirement involved an existing listed property rather than new-build construction. Relevant firms should also be able to coordinate varied construction activities within one package and demonstrate the organisational capacity, technical competence and project experience expected for a multi-year council building contract. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that this scale of work can be delivered by a suitably capable smaller construction business.
