## Summary

South Kesteven District Council has undertaken a public procurement process for repairs to the Guildhall Arts Centre Clock Tower, located in Grantham, United Kingdom. The process was initiated by the council and supported by Welland Procurement, with Hardy Construction as the supplier. The tender falls into the 'works' procurement category and, given the below-threshold procurement method, was awarded directly without competition. Recent amendments were issued on 16 January 2026, with subsequent contract notices published on 25 February 2026. The original contract was signed on 17 March 2025, reflecting a proactive timeline and commitment to maintaining structural integrity efficiently. The procurement aims to address critical timber and structural repairs with scheduled works conducted using scaffolding for bracing and support, adhering to both sub-central government and direct procurement guidelines.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in construction and structural refurbishment. The direct award to small and medium-sized enterprise Hardy Construction highlights the council's preference for engaging local talent capable of ensuring prompt and quality repairs. Companies familiar with scaffolding work, supporting wall construction, and refurbishment activities, particularly those operating within the Grantham area or possessing relevant expertise in heritage structure repairs, would be well-suited to such projects. As this contract showcases a collaboration between public authorities and able construction firms, similar businesses with a keen eye on public sector projects have a prime opportunity to contribute to foundational refurbishment works and potentially expand their service portfolio within the sub-central government sector.

## Notice

Following detailed inspection and investigation of the timber structure of the Grantham Guild Hall Arts Centre clock tower by our consultant, William Saunders, it is apparent that significant repairs are now required to the timber finishes and structural timbers of the clock tower. This inspection was carried out from the scaffolding that had been erected for the roof repairs works which are currently underway. To ensure that the timber can be cut out and replaced safely and without affecting the structural stability of the clock tower, a bracing structure made up of scaffolding has to be installed within the clock tower so that the timber pillars are restrained and supported from movement whilst the repairs are carried out. The scope of the additional repairs has been drawn up by our consultant and priced by contractor Hardy Construction due to the urgency of carrying out the work. The works will address the identified issues and provide a solution that will maintain the structural integrity of the clock tower. The quotation for the works is PS78,620.00.
