Summary of the contracting process

Kent County Council procured works to replace the roof and windows at Southborough Primary School. The requirement covers construction activity associated with removing and replacing the school’s roof and windows, with the purpose of maintaining or improving the school building. The work is delivered at Southborough Primary School in Southborough, Kent. Kent County Council is the buying organisation. The procurement is categorised as works, with the related construction classification covering construction work generally. This is a school-building refurbishment requirement rather than a standalone supply of windows or roofing materials, so it is most relevant to contractors able to manage and deliver coordinated roof and window replacement works in an operational education setting.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a below-threshold procedure, with the recorded method described as unknown. Initial Systems Limited was selected for the single lot, and the award is active. The contract was signed on 22 July 2026 and runs from 2 August 2026 to 3 December 2026. Its value is £599,887.40 excluding VAT, or £719,864.88 including VAT. The contract is below the applicable threshold. The process concerns one combined requirement for the school roof and window replacement works, rather than separate awards for roofing and windows. The recorded procurement information does not set out a scoring breakdown or detailed evaluation weighting.

This award shows that Kent County Council buys substantial, combined school-building refurbishment packages covering both roofing and windows. A credible competitor for similar work would need the construction capability to survey, plan and deliver both elements as one coordinated project, with sufficient management capacity for a complete primary-school site package. Relevant firms are likely to include building contractors and specialist refurbishment companies that can manage roofing and window replacement, coordinate trades and materials, and deliver work safely in an education environment. Initial Systems Limited is recorded as an SME supplier, indicating that a business of that scale was selected for the requirement. The opportunity is therefore relevant to capable SMEs as well as larger contractors with comparable building-maintenance experience.
