Summary of the contracting process

Knowsley Council commissioned construction works at Westvale Primary School. The requirement covered refurbishment and remodelling of the school’s main entrance and reception area, works to a classroom, and delivery of a window replacement programme. The work was delivered for the school in the Knowsley area of Merseyside. It falls within the construction work category. The requirement was organised as one package covering the entrance refurbishment, classroom works and window replacements. This is a building contractor opportunity focused on improving existing school accommodation rather than constructing a new school or providing standalone professional services. It would be relevant to contractors able to manage refurbishment and replacement works in an occupied or operational education setting.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Knowsley Council used a below-threshold limited competition. Frank Rogers (Building Contractor) Limited was awarded the single package. The award was made on 14 July 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 19 July 2026 to 31 October 2026. Its value is £309,118 excluding VAT, or £370,941.60 including VAT. The contract is active. The recorded award covers construction works for the Westvale Primary School entrance, classroom and window replacement requirement. The process was below the relevant threshold and used a limited competition rather than an open procedure.

This award provides a clear example of Knowsley Council buying bundled school refurbishment and window replacement works through a below-threshold limited competition. A credible future competitor would need to be an established building contractor able to coordinate several workstreams within one education site: reception and entrance remodelling, classroom refurbishment and window replacement. The requirement favoured a supplier with practical construction delivery capability, programme control and sufficient capacity to complete a time-limited package of works. Experience of working in schools or similarly sensitive public buildings would help demonstrate an ability to manage access, sequencing, site safety and disruption. The award to an SME also indicates that this type of package is within reach of suitably capable smaller contractors.
