Summary of the contracting process

Kent County Council commissioned works at The Willows in Swanley: replacement of the roof under a JCT Minor Works Contract. This is a building refurbishment project focused on roofing rather than the supply of standalone materials or general construction services. The specified work is classified as bituminous roof-covering work, indicating requirements associated with removing, renewing or installing roof coverings using bituminous materials. Delivery is at The Willows, Swanley, in Kent. The purchasing organisation is Kent County Council, a sub-central public authority. The requirement was arranged as one complete lot, covering the full roof-replacement project. It is relevant to roofing contractors and building contractors with the skills and resources to deliver a defined roof renewal project for a public-sector property owner.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold tender process. One supplier, G Baker Roofing Limited, was selected for the single lot. The award was made on 27 August 2026, and the contract runs from 14 September 2026 to 6 October 2026. Its value is £96,950 excluding VAT, or £116,340 including VAT. The contract is active. The opportunity was evaluated and awarded as a works contract, but the published information does not set out the individual evaluation criteria or weightings. The contract uses the JCT Minor Works form. This outcome identifies a short, defined delivery period for roof replacement at a Kent County Council property, rather than a long-term framework or multi-site service arrangement.

This award provides a clear reference point for roofing businesses tracking Kent County Council’s property-maintenance demand. A credible future supplier would need practical capability in roof replacement and bituminous roof-covering work, with the workforce, supervision and equipment to complete a focused building project within a short delivery window. Familiarity with JCT Minor Works contracts would help a contractor understand the form of contract used for this requirement. The successful supplier is an SME, showing that the scale and contracting route can suit a specialist small business rather than only a large national contractor. Relevant evidence would include completed public-sector or comparable roofing projects, competent operatives, effective site management, health and safety controls, and the capacity to coordinate materials and works at a live property.
