## Summary

The procurement process for the Wensley Road Temporary Works has been completed by Reading Borough Council, a regional authority located in Reading, United Kingdom. This project is classified under the industry category of scaffolding work and involves the provision of temporary scaffolding to ensure fire exits are accessible from all floors of the units. The contract, valued at £135,000 and signed on 1 October 2025, was awarded to HLS MCCONNELL LIMITED, a large-scale supplier from East Kilbride. Conducted through a limited procurement method without prior publication, the tender process falls outside the scope of the directive, and the award stage is now active.

The Wensley Road Temporary Works present a potential avenue for businesses specialising in scaffolding and construction services, particularly those that can efficiently handle large-scale projects. Although this contract has been directly awarded, similar future projects may offer competitive opportunities for businesses that demonstrate cost-effectiveness and reliability. Regional scaffolding companies and temporary works firms in proximity to Reading or with the capability to deploy resources in UKJ11 are well-suited to pursue such contracts, enhancing their portfolio and expanding their market presence.
