Summary of the contracting process

Kent County Council procured works to repair the heritage windows at Sessions House in Maidstone. The requirement arose because the windows could not be replaced and needed repair for health and safety reasons. The work falls within building restoration and heritage repair, including restoration work (CPV 45454100). Delivery is at Sessions House, Maidstone, serving a county council property. This is a focused construction and conservation requirement rather than a general window replacement project. It is relevant to contractors with experience repairing historic windows and fabric in occupied or publicly owned buildings, particularly where replacement is not suitable and safety considerations must be addressed.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to SKANSKA CONSTRUCTION UK LIMITED. The award was made on 10 August 2026. The below-threshold procedure was recorded as ‘unknown’, and the procurement had one completed lot. The contract was signed on 10 August 2026 and runs from 10 August 2026 to 30 September 2026. Its value is £78,640.37 excluding VAT, or £94,368.44 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The selected supplier is responsible for the heritage window repair works at Sessions House. The published outcome identifies restoration work as the relevant classification.

This procurement shows Kent County Council’s demand for specialist repair of heritage windows where health and safety issues prevent replacement. A credible future competitor would need practical construction capability in conservation and restoration work, with the skills to assess, repair and make safe historic window fabric while respecting the character of a heritage building. Experience of delivering works for a public authority, managing safety-critical repairs and working to a defined short-term programme would strengthen a supplier’s position. The requirement is suited to established building contractors or specialist heritage repair firms able to take responsibility for a contained works package at a council-owned property. Skanska’s selection indicates that substantial construction delivery capability was accepted for this requirement.
