Summary of the contracting process

Stoke-on-Trent City Council is seeking a principal contractor to repair and maintain the external fabric of Longton Market Hall. The building is Grade II listed and lies within the Longton Conservation Area, fronting The Strand and Transport Lane in Stoke-on-Trent. This is a building refurbishment and maintenance works contract, covering the market hall’s exterior. The work is classified as construction. Suppliers should be equipped to undertake repairs to an existing historic building in a conservation area, while meeting the requirements associated with the principal contractor role.

The council invited offers through an open competition, and the process reached the tender stage. The single lot is evaluated under the stated “Below Threshold Evaluation” basis. Tender submissions were due by 12 November 2026 at 17:00 UTC. The contract period runs from 10 March 2027 to 17 August 2027. The estimated value is £900,000 excluding VAT (£1,080,000 including VAT). Electronic submission is allowed, and the tender information and documents are available through the ProContract e-tendering portal. The procurement is below the relevant threshold.

This opportunity is best suited to a principal contractor with the capability to plan and deliver external repairs and maintenance to a substantial existing building. Experience working on listed buildings and within conservation areas would be directly relevant to the setting and fabric of Longton Market Hall. Suppliers should be able to manage the refurbishment works across the building exterior and coordinate the work over the specified contract period. The single-lot structure makes this a principal-contractor opportunity rather than a separately divided package of trades. The requirement may suit construction businesses with appropriate heritage-building expertise and the capacity to take responsibility for delivery in Stoke-on-Trent. The procurement information identifies no particular accreditation or named technical standard as a condition.
