Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council is procuring roof repair works at Rolleston Primary School, Hillsborough Road, Glen Parva, Leicester. The work covers removing four existing roofs and overlaying them, then supplying and installing a waterproofing system across all four roofs. This is roofing work (CPV 45261210). The council anticipates appointing one supplier to carry out the work at the school. The project is suited to roofing and building contractors with the capability to remove existing roof coverings and complete a multi-roof waterproofing installation in a school setting.

The council invited tenders through an open competition. The tender submission deadline was 5 November 2026 at 12:00, and the deadline for enquiries was 23 October 2026 at 16:00. The planned contract runs from 5 January to 4 April 2027, with an option to extend for up to a further four months, to no later than 4 August 2027. The estimated value is £350,000 excluding VAT (£420,000 including VAT). There is one lot. Evaluation is weighted 70% on price and 30% on quality; quality is assessed through the questions and marking scheme in the request for quotation. SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises are identified as suitable to compete.

This requirement suits contractors experienced in roof removal, roof overlays and waterproofing-system installation, with the workforce and project management capacity to complete works across four school roofs. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate the quality of their proposed approach through the responses requested in the quotation and provide a credible price for the full scope. The quality assessment is a material part of the competition alongside price, so bidders need to address each quality question and follow the stated marking scheme. The council identifies the opportunity as suitable for SMEs and for voluntary, community and social enterprises, making it relevant to capable smaller contractors as well as larger roofing firms. The anticipated single-supplier award favours businesses able to deliver the complete package.
