Summary of the contracting process

The Council of the Isles of Scilly is procuring construction works to replace the roof of St Martin’s fire station on the Isles of Scilly. The requirement is for a like-for-like roof replacement, including the associated construction activities needed to deliver the completed roof. The work is classified as construction work and is intended for the fire station site on St Martin’s. The tender pack covers the site location, pre-construction information, preliminaries, contract conditions, pricing documents, a fixing guide and Highlands and Islands windloading and fixing advice. This suits roofing and building contractors able to work on an island site and deliver a replacement roof in line with the specified technical and site requirements.

The procurement has reached tender: the Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It comprises one lot and is evaluated on a 70:30 price-to-quality basis. Questions could be submitted until 9 October 2026 at 23:59, and offers were due by 16 October 2026 at 23:59. Bids should be submitted electronically by email to procurement@scilly.gov.uk. The contract is scheduled to run from 23 November 2026 to 12 February 2027. Its estimated value is £45,000 excluding VAT, or £54,000 including VAT. The opportunity is below the applicable threshold. The tender pack includes bidder instructions, response forms, pricing documents, site information, pre-construction information and contract documentation for preparing an offer.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized construction or roofing businesses, which the procurement identifies as suitable suppliers. Strong candidates will have the practical capability to remove and replace a fire-station roof on a like-for-like basis, plan and manage construction work on St Martin’s, and meet the requirements in the pre-construction information and contract preliminaries. Relevant experience with roofing projects, site-based construction delivery and working to formal contract conditions would help suppliers produce a credible quality submission. Bidders should also be able to interpret and apply the supplied fixing guide and Highlands and Islands windloading and fixing advice. The evaluation gives quality a substantial weighting alongside price, so a clear delivery approach and evidence of technical competence will matter.
