Summary of the contracting process

Cheshire West and Chester Council commissioned construction work at Greenbank School in Northwich. The requirement is categorised as construction work (CPV 45000000) and relates to one package covering the school project. The council is the public-sector buyer and the work is to be delivered in Northwich, Cheshire. The procurement concerns physical building or construction activity rather than professional advisory services, supplies or routine facilities management. It is therefore relevant to construction contractors and specialist firms able to undertake work in or around an operational school environment, subject to the technical requirements set out for the project. The selected supplier, Skyline Property Solutions Limited, is a Liverpool-based SME, indicating that the requirement was accessible to a smaller construction business through the council’s limited-competition route.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was used. Skyline Property Solutions Limited was selected for the construction works, and the related contract is active. The contract was signed on 18 September 2026, starts on 22 September 2026 and runs until 31 December 2026. Its gross value is £145,000. The process was below the applicable threshold. The published data identifies the requirement as works and records the successful supplier, but does not set out a separate award date or detailed scoring basis. This outcome shows a short, defined construction contract procured through a restricted field of competing suppliers rather than an open tender, with the council retaining a single supplier for the complete package.

For construction businesses, this procurement is useful evidence that Cheshire West and Chester Council buys discrete school construction packages at a modest, clearly defined scale through below-threshold limited competition. A credible future competitor would need to deliver building work for a school client, manage a complete single-package requirement, and operate within a short contract period. The award to Skyline Property Solutions Limited, an SME based in Liverpool, shows that the council’s market is not limited to national construction groups and that regional smaller firms can be relevant. Firms tracking this buyer should therefore be able to demonstrate practical construction delivery, capacity to mobilise promptly, and experience of working safely and reliably in an education setting. The requirement is specifically construction work at Greenbank School, rather than general council maintenance.
