Summary of the contracting process

Kent County Council procured roofing works for Hernhill Primary School. The requirement was to replace the existing roof using the Britmet State 2000 roofing system and remove the existing non-operational Velux rooflights. This is a specialist school-building refurbishment project, covering roofing installation, removal and associated works needed to renew the roof. Delivery was in Kent, at Hernhill Primary School. The buying organisation was Kent County Council, a sub-central public authority. The procurement was focused on physical construction and refurbishment rather than routine maintenance, consultancy or supply-only roofing materials. It would therefore be relevant to roofing contractors and building refurbishment firms able to undertake roof replacement works in an operational school environment, including the safe removal of redundant rooflights and installation of the specified Britmet system.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Kent County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to BYFORD ROOFING SERVICES LIMITED. The award is active and the contract was signed on 17 July 2026. The contract period runs from 17 July 2026 to 17 September 2026. Its value is £281,222.90 excluding VAT, or £337,467.48 including VAT. The tender description stated that the works were planned to run from 17 July 2026 to 10 September 2026 to reduce risks and disruption during school term time; the contract period records a later end date. The award covered refurbishment works for the complete roofing requirement, with no separate lot values published.

This award shows Kent County Council’s demand for substantial specialist roofing refurbishment in primary-school premises, procured through a below-threshold limited competition. A credible competitor for similar work would need demonstrable capability in full roof replacement rather than minor repairs, experience working safely around school buildings, and the capacity to complete a sizeable installation within a defined programme designed to minimise disruption during term time. The specified Britmet State 2000 system means relevant product knowledge and installation competence would be important. The requirement also included removal of non-operational Velux rooflights, so contractors should be able to manage rooflight removal and make good the surrounding roof construction. Roofing contractors or refurbishment firms with comparable education-sector delivery experience would be well placed when this type of requirement is next considered.
