Summary of the contracting process

Kent County Council procured building works at Ashford Oaks Community Primary School. The requirement was to replace the roof’s weatherproof coverings and carry out associated works, including roof repair and maintenance activity (CPV 45261900). This is a school roofing project rather than a general facilities-management service, so relevant suppliers are those able to undertake roof renewal and related building works in an operational education setting. The named buying organisation is Kent County Council, and the delivery area is in Kent in the South East of England. The procurement covered one package of work for the school and was classified as works rather than goods or services.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Kent County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. G. BAKER ROOFING LIMITED was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 10 July 2026 and runs from 25 August 2026 to 30 November 2026. Its value is £423,980 excluding VAT, or £508,776 including VAT. The contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition for the single roofing works package; the published outcome identifies the selected supplier but does not set out individual scoring criteria. The procurement therefore provides a clear example of Kent County Council commissioning substantial school roof replacement works through a below-threshold competitive route.

This award shows demand from Kent County Council for substantial roof renewal at a primary school, with the work delivered by a specialist roofing SME. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need demonstrable capability in replacing roof weatherproof coverings, diagnosing and addressing associated defects, and completing connected repair and maintenance works. Experience of working safely around school buildings, managing site activity in an education environment and delivering a defined works package would strengthen a supplier’s position. The procurement was run as a limited competition below the relevant threshold, so businesses seeking similar council work should be prepared to demonstrate a focused roofing specialism, appropriate capacity for a sizeable project and evidence of reliable delivery on comparable public or commercial buildings.
