Summary of the contracting process

Kent County Council procured structural repair works at Willesborough Infant School in Kent. The requirement was to repair failing lintels in the school’s main building, classed as structural works. The work is a construction and building-repair opportunity focused on restoring the safety and integrity of an existing school structure, rather than general maintenance or new-build construction. The named buying organisation is Kent County Council, a sub-central public authority. Delivery is at Willesborough Infant School; the procurement information does not give a more precise locality for the school. The requirement was arranged as a single package covering the roof repair and associated structural repairs to the main building.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a below-threshold tender route, with the specific procedure described as unknown, and was not divided into multiple competing lots. Gjm Southern Group LTD was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 21 August 2026 and runs from 21 August 2026 to 30 October 2026. Its value is £49,837.44 excluding VAT, or £59,804.93 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The stated procurement description gave an estimated cost of £49,837.44. The award basis is not set out beyond the below-threshold tender route, so no separate price, quality or technical weighting is reported.

This award demonstrates demand from Kent County Council for specialist structural repair work in an occupied or operational school setting, specifically the repair of failing lintels within an existing main building. Competitors seeking similar future work would need practical capability in structural building repairs and the ability to plan and deliver remedial works safely in a school environment. The successful supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that the requirement was deliverable by an SME rather than only a major construction contractor. Relevant businesses include building repair contractors with experience diagnosing and rectifying structural defects, coordinating site activity around school operations, and completing defined repair packages to the council’s requirements.
