Summary of the contracting process

Rochdale Borough Council is procuring specialist reglazing works at its head office, Number One Riverside in Rochdale. The work involves replacing specialist glass, which is ordered from Italy, and completing the associated installation works. The procurement is classified as works and includes an installation-of-doors classification. The requirement arose because existing glass at the council’s head office needs replacement, with the council’s insurer agreeing to reimburse the council after completion. Halifax Glass Co Limited is the selected supplier. The work is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making this relevant to specialist glazing contractors, commercial glass installers and firms able to source, supply and install bespoke imported glass in a public-sector building.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It was made as a below-threshold direct award without competition, because the specialist nature of the work meant the council was unable to secure alternative quotes. Halifax Glass Co Limited was selected for the single lot. The award value is £36,500 excluding VAT and £43,800 including VAT. The contract period runs from 11 October 2026 to 31 March 2027, with signature scheduled by 15 September 2026. The award is below the applicable threshold. The recorded procurement route is direct award, rather than an open or competitive tender, and the lot is complete. The stated evaluation basis is the specialist nature of the requirement and the availability of a supplier able to carry out the works.

This opportunity indicates recurring demand from Rochdale Borough Council for specialist glazing and reglazing at its operational buildings. A credible future supplier would need to source non-standard glass internationally, understand the specification and replacement requirements of an existing public building, and manage installation safely and competently. Relevant experience in specialist commercial glazing, façade or building-envelope repairs, and installation work associated with doors or glazed systems would strengthen a future offer. The procurement also shows that the council may use a direct, below-threshold route where a requirement is highly specialised and alternative quotations are difficult to obtain. Smaller glazing businesses can be relevant, as the requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs, provided they can demonstrate dependable supply, installation capability and delivery of completed works.
