Summary of the contracting process

Rochdale Borough Council procured building and refurbishment works for Alkrington Toilets and Hall Works 2026. The requirement covered refurbishment of boys’ toilets and replacement of flooring in a school hall, following recommendations from the council’s Property Services team. The work was planned for the school summer holiday period to avoid disruption to pupils and staff. It falls within school-building construction and refurbishment. Delivery was in the Rochdale area. This is a council works requirement rather than a supply-only or professional-services contract, and would suit contractors able to manage practical works in an occupied education setting, with careful planning around access, safety, sequencing and the school calendar. The requirement was awarded as a single package to one contractor.

The procurement has been completed and the contract awarded to H. Bell & Sons (Rochdale) Limited. Rochdale Borough Council used a below-threshold limited competition under a limited procurement method, with one completed lot. The award was active and the award date was 17 July 2026. The contract was signed on 17 July 2026 and runs from 17 July 2026 to 1 September 2026. Its value is £58,409.02 excluding VAT and £70,090.82 including VAT. The contract status is active. The published requirement was treated as a concession under the stated special regime. The procurement was evaluated through the limited competition route; the available information does not set out separate quality, price or other award weightings.

This award is evidence of demand from Rochdale Borough Council for small, time-critical school refurbishment packages combining sanitary-area works with internal flooring replacement. A credible future competitor would need practical construction capability, experience coordinating multiple trades and the capacity to complete disruptive work within a tightly controlled school-holiday programme. Relevant strengths include managing site access, protecting school users and property, maintaining health and safety, coordinating with the council’s Property Services team and delivering to an agreed completion deadline. The successful supplier was a Rochdale-based SME, indicating that a smaller contractor with suitable local capacity can compete for this type of requirement. Firms seeking similar work should be able to demonstrate reliable delivery of education-building works, clear sequencing and effective communication with public-sector estates teams.
