Summary of the contracting process

The Council of the City of Wakefield commissioned works at County Hall involving core drilling to flat roof areas. The purpose was to test all flat roof areas for structural issues using ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and concrete coring. This is specialist building and engineering work covering roof works, construction works and structural investigation. The activity was delivered in the Wakefield area, in the United Kingdom. The requirement was organised as one package, covering the full County Hall roof investigation rather than separate service elements. It would suit contractors able to combine non-destructive survey techniques with controlled concrete coring and associated roof or structural engineering expertise.

This below-threshold procurement has reached the awarded and completed tender stage. The single package was awarded to VCS Durability Engineering Limited, an SME. The award became active on 28 August 2026, and the contract was signed on 15 July 2026. The contract period ran from 28 August 2026 to 28 August 2026. Its gross value was £24,722 including tax. The tender status was complete and the resulting contract is active. The procurement method was recorded as below threshold, with the detailed method described as unknown. The award covered works for core drilling, GPR and concrete coring to the County Hall roof. No separate award values or additional lots applied.

This procurement demonstrates that Wakefield City Council buys small-scale, specialist roof investigation and remedial enabling works for its public buildings. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need practical capability in ground-penetrating radar surveys, concrete coring and structural assessment of flat roofs. It would also need to coordinate intrusive and non-intrusive investigation safely within an occupied or operational civic building, protect the roof and surrounding areas, and provide findings that support decisions about structural condition. Experience delivering building construction, engineering and specialist roof works would help demonstrate suitability. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that this type of requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large construction organisation.
