UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Warrington Borough Council commissioned repair and maintenance work on the water feature in Warrington town centre. The work covered repairing broken panels and applying paint and surface coatings. The requirement was for specialist work on an existing artwork and feature, rather than a wider building-maintenance programme. The delivery location was Warrington, England.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to The Fountain Company Limited. The council awarded the work without competition because of its specialist nature and the requirement for the original installers to carry it out. The contract was signed on 17 July 2025 and ran from 31 July to 30 September 2025. Its value was £40,760 excluding VAT (£48,912 including VAT). The process was recorded as below threshold; no separate award date is stated.

The award demonstrates demand from Warrington Borough Council for specialist repair of a town-centre water feature, including broken-panel repairs and work to painted and coated surfaces. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need practical expertise in water-feature repair and the ability to work carefully on an existing public artwork. The council’s stated reason for choosing the original installers makes familiarity with the feature’s construction and materials especially relevant. The work was a focused repair rather than a broad maintenance contract, so suppliers whose experience is limited to general building services may be less well placed.
