Summary of the contracting process

Kent County Council commissioned roof replacement works at Mereworth Community Primary School in Kent. The requirement covers removing and replacing the school roof, including associated roof-covering work (CPV 45261210). This is a construction works contract rather than a supply-only opportunity or a professional advisory service. The work is specific to the school site and is intended to restore or renew the building’s roof so that it remains suitable for continued educational use. Businesses relevant to this requirement include roofing contractors, building contractors with in-house roofing capability and specialist firms able to deliver roof-covering works in a live school environment. The contracting authority is Kent County Council, which buys and manages the requirement for the school.

The procurement has been completed and awarded, with the tender marked complete and the award active. Kent County Council used a below-threshold procedure, with the specific method recorded as unknown. G.Baker Roofing Limited was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 12 June 2026 and runs from 24 July 2026 to 24 July 2028. Its value is £45,000 excluding VAT and £54,000 including VAT. The award covers the roof replacement and roof-covering works at Mereworth Community Primary School. The published outcome identifies one successful supplier and an active contract. The procurement was evaluated through the buyer’s below-threshold process; the available outcome does not set out separate quality, price or technical weighting.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for school roof replacement and roof-covering capability within Kent County Council’s estate. A credible future competitor would need practical experience delivering roofing or wider building works, with the workforce, supervision and equipment to complete a substantial school roof project safely and to the required standard. Relevant firms are likely to include established roofing specialists and small or medium-sized contractors able to manage the full replacement scope rather than only supply materials. Experience working around schools or other occupied public buildings would help demonstrate control of access, safeguarding, noise, weather and site safety issues. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that a business of this scale can satisfy the authority’s requirement when it can provide focused roofing expertise and dependable delivery.
