Summary of the contracting process

Bath & North East Somerset Council procured structural beam repairs to the floor of the Guildhall Banqueting Hall. This is a construction works requirement, covering repair activity to an existing public building rather than the supply of standalone goods or routine services. The work is associated with Bath, where the council is based, and the appointed supplier is based in Bristol. The requirement is a single works package managed by the council. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are construction contractors able to assess and repair structural elements, organise site works safely, and deliver building repairs in an operational public-sector environment. The procurement concerns the physical repair of the banqueting hall floor and its supporting structural beams.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Bath & North East Somerset Council used a below-threshold direct award without competition. N K S Contracts Limited was selected as the supplier. The award is active and the contract is active. The award date is not recorded separately; the contract was signed on 20 January 2026. The contract runs from 20 January 2026 to 30 October 2026. Its value is £35,665.45 excluding VAT, or £42,798.54 including VAT. The procurement was a single lot. The stated scope is Guildhall Banqueting Hall floor structural beam repairs, classified as construction work. No competitive tender or published evaluation basis formed part of this route to award.

For firms that did not win this contract, the award demonstrates that Bath & North East Somerset Council buys specialist building repair works through a direct, below-threshold route when the requirement is relatively focused. A credible competitor for a future return of this requirement would need practical structural repair and general construction capability, with staff able to investigate defects, plan remedial works and complete repairs to beams and floor structures. Relevant experience on occupied or public buildings would help demonstrate controlled site delivery, safe working and coordination with the council. The appointed supplier is an SME, indicating that a smaller construction business with suitable technical competence and delivery capacity can satisfy this type of council requirement.
