Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council is seeking a contractor to repair the roof at Rolleston Primary School, Hillsborough Road, Glen Parva, Leicester. The works cover removal of four existing roofs, followed by overlaying, supplying and installing a waterproofing system across all four roofs. This is a building roof-covering and waterproofing project, rather than a general school maintenance or roofing supply contract. The work is to be delivered at the school in Glen Parva, Leicester. The council anticipates appointing one supplier for the complete requirement, so the opportunity suits a contractor able to undertake the removal and waterproofing work as a single package.

The council invited tenders through an open competition. The enquiry deadline was 23 October 2026 at 16:00, and the submission deadline, extended by amendment, was 12 November 2026 at 12:00. The planned contract period runs from 5 January to 4 April 2027, with an option to extend by up to a further four months, taking the possible end date to 4 August 2027. The estimated value is £350,000 excluding VAT (£420,000 including VAT). The procurement is a single lot. Evaluation weights price at 70% and quality at 30%; quality is assessed through answers to the questions in the request for quotation. Contractors are directed to the quotation documents for participation conditions.

This is a defined, single-site roofing works package for a primary school, combining removal of four roofs with installation of a waterproofing system. It may suit roofing and building-envelope contractors with the practical capacity to coordinate roof removal and waterproofing installation as one project, and to deliver work in a school setting. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises are identified as suitable. The price-led evaluation gives the lowest genuine total contract price the full price score, while quality answers account for the remainder; suppliers therefore need to present a competitive price alongside clear, responsive answers to the quotation's quality questions. The council anticipates one supplier for the package. The published participation information directs contractors to the request for quotation and associated tender documents for the conditions they must meet.
