UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northern Lighthouse Board commissioned conservation-led roof works at its Grade A listed historic headquarters in Edinburgh. The project covers temporary works and scaffolding; stripping and replacing roof coverings on the front and rear elevations; inspection and, where needed, replacement of sarking boards; and installation of a breathable membrane. Existing Scottish slate is to be carefully salvaged and transferred to a Scottish slate merchant, with new Spanish slate installed under listed building consent while retaining the diminishing-course appearance. The scope also includes replacement leadwork to flashings, ridges, skews and valleys, local timber repairs to a dormer, and inspection of rainwater goods with possible gutter and downpipe repairs or replacement. Painting timber-framed windows and doors on both elevations is a provisional item.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded on 29 September 2026 to Central Roofing and Building Services Ltd. The award is £177,800 excluding VAT (£213,600 including VAT). The contract period runs from 18 October 2026 to 14 March 2027. The work was procured below the applicable threshold; the published method detail describes the procedure as below threshold. There was one lot, covering the headquarters roof works. The award is for works, with roof repair and maintenance among the classified activities. No evaluation criteria or scoring basis are stated in the process information. The award is active; no contract-signing or completion outcome is reported.

For this buyer’s future heritage-roofing requirements, a credible supplier would need to demonstrate conservation expertise and high-quality craftsmanship on a Grade A listed building. Relevant capability includes temporary works and scaffolding, careful removal and replacement of slate roofs, inspection and repair of roof structures, breathable membrane installation, and detailed leadwork across flashings, ridges, skews and valleys. Handling and salvaging historic slate, coordinating its transfer to a specialist merchant, and installing replacement slate in a way that preserves the building’s established appearance are also central to this requirement. The scope shows value in being able to provide associated timber repairs and rainwater-goods inspections, with capacity for provisional repairs and external painting. Central Roofing and Building Services Ltd, a large supplier, was selected for this single-lot project.
