UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

St Helens Council is procuring works to replace the surface deck at Church Square Shopping Centre in St Helens. The requirement covers asphalt-related works, paving and asphalting, and fabrication of deck components. It is a construction and civil engineering opportunity for a contractor able to plan and deliver a surface replacement project in a shopping-centre environment. The work is located in St Helens, serving the Church Square Shopping Centre site. The council is the buyer and is seeking a contractor to carry out the physical replacement works rather than supply standalone materials. Businesses whose work includes asphalt surfacing, paving, deck fabrication or associated construction delivery should consider the opportunity, particularly where they can coordinate these activities as part of one works contract.

The process reached tender: the council invited offers through an open, below-threshold competition. It is a single-lot works contract, with electronic submission allowed. Enquiries had to be submitted by 21 September 2026 at 12:00, and bids by 28 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is from 31 October 2026 to 28 February 2027. Its estimated value is £500,000 excluding VAT and £600,000 including VAT. Evaluation is based on price at 65%, quality questions at 15%, qualitative social value at 10%, and quantitative social value at 10%. The tender pack sets out the detailed requirements and response instructions. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This opportunity suits construction contractors and specialist surfacing businesses with the capability to replace an existing surface deck and deliver asphalt, paving and asphalting works. Firms with in-house deck-fabrication capability, or established delivery arrangements for those elements, are likely to be well placed to respond. The requirement will suit businesses able to coordinate several related work activities on a live shopping-centre site and manage the practical interfaces between fabrication, surfacing and paving. It is explicitly identified as suitable for SMEs, so smaller contractors with relevant technical capability and delivery capacity should consider competing. Commercial performance will depend heavily on price, but quality and both qualitative and quantitative social value are also assessed, favouring bidders able to evidence a credible approach to quality and measurable wider benefits.
