Summary of the contracting process

Southend-on-Sea City Council procured building works for West Leigh Infants School Roof Refurbishment Phase 2. The scope covers recovering two areas of flat roof containing skylights and air-conditioning units, together with installing a new skylight, subject to planning approval. This is a specialist roof repair and refurbishment requirement, classified under CPV 45261910. The work is for a school site in the Southend-on-Sea area and is being bought by the city council. Suppliers suited to this requirement would typically provide commercial or public-sector roofing and building refurbishment services, with the capability to work around existing roof fixtures, manage skylight installation and address the practical constraints of carrying out works at an operational education site.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Edmunds Design & Construction Ltd. It was a single-lot, below-threshold procurement; the recorded method detail does not identify a more specific procedure. The contract was signed on 7 August 2026 and awarded on 11 August 2026. Its stated value is £28,770 excluding VAT, or £34,524 including VAT. The contract period runs from 11 August to 15 September 2026, with a maximum extension date of 2 October 2026. An extension is available for adverse weather conditions. The award is active and the contract is active. The tender was evaluated through the procurement process that selected the named roofing and construction supplier.

This award provides a clear benchmark for firms supplying school roof refurbishment in Southend-on-Sea. A credible competitor would need practical experience recovering flat roofs, working around skylights and air-conditioning equipment, and installing new rooflights where planning approval is relevant. The requirement suits an SME-sized roofing or building contractor able to deliver a focused works package rather than a large, multi-site programme. Competitors would also need to coordinate safely around an education setting, manage weather-related construction risks and complete work within a defined school-project timetable. Evidence of reliable site management, competent roofing operatives, quality workmanship and experience dealing with public-sector clients would strengthen a future response to this buyer’s comparable requirements.
