Summary of the contracting process

Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council commissioned security fencing at Lammack Primary School in Blackburn. The works cover a fencing scheme around the school boundary, including pedestrian and vehicle gates. This is a construction and installation requirement focused on fencing, gates and site security, rather than a supply-only purchase. The work is delivered at the school in Blackburn. The council is the buyer, and the requirement was organised as a single lot. The scope indicates that credible suppliers need to undertake boundary fencing installation and provide or install both pedestrian and vehicular access gates for a school site.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Landscape Engineering Ltd. The council used a below-threshold limited competition. The single lot was awarded, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 30 December 2025 and runs from 5 January to 19 April 2026. Its value is £89,324.40 excluding VAT (£107,189.28 including VAT). The award record does not give a separate award date. The published information identifies the fencing and gates scope but does not describe the evaluation criteria or bidder eligibility requirements.

For fencing contractors, this award shows that Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council buys school-boundary security schemes that combine fencing with pedestrian and vehicle gates, using a limited competition for a below-threshold requirement. A credible competitor when this specific requirement next comes to market would need a track record installing secure boundary fencing and access gates at operational school sites, with the capacity to coordinate the work safely around a school environment and deliver a complete scheme. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise, demonstrating that the work was delivered by an SME; this does not establish any formal SME preference. Suppliers whose core offer is unrelated to fencing installation or who cannot deliver both gate types are less closely matched to this buyer's requirement.
