Summary of the contracting process

Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council commissioned reroofing works at Griffin Park Primary School, Cavendish Place, Blackburn. The work concerns the school roof and falls within construction work. The contract is specific to this school, rather than a general roofing service across multiple sites. The council is the buyer, and the work is delivered at the school in Blackburn.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was a below-threshold procurement, with one lot. FRS Roofing Services Ltd was selected and the contract was signed on 24 July 2026. The contract value is £327,371 excluding VAT (£392,845.20 including VAT). The contract period runs from 10 August to 18 December 2026. The published details do not set out an evaluation basis beyond identifying the successful supplier.

This award shows demand from Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council for school reroofing delivered as a defined construction project at an individual site. Roofing contractors with the capability to plan and complete reroofing works in a school setting would be relevant when this requirement returns to market. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate suitable roofing expertise, the resources to deliver a substantial single-site project, and the ability to manage work at an operating primary school. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that a smaller specialist contractor was able to secure the work. The procurement used a below-threshold route; suppliers should therefore be prepared to compete for council construction work procured through that route.
