## Summary

St Helens Council procured structural construction works for Broad Oak Primary School. The requirement falls within primary school construction work and concerns the structural element of the school project, rather than general supplies or routine services. Delivery is in the St Helens area of the United Kingdom. The council is the public-sector buyer and the procurement covered one complete lot. The appointed contractor, EFT Construction Limited, is based in Southport and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise. This opportunity is therefore relevant to construction businesses able to undertake structural works in or around schools, particularly contractors serving St Helens and the wider Merseyside area. It may also be relevant to firms that routinely work for local authorities on education buildings and related construction projects.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The single lot was awarded to EFT Construction Limited. The contract was signed on 1 August 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 October 2026. Its value is £74,944.78 excluding VAT, or £89,933.74 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement is recorded under a concession special regime. It was evaluated through the limited-competition process, but the published information does not set out the individual award criteria or weightings. This is an awarded outcome rather than an opportunity to submit a bid. The requirement was classified as works and related to primary school construction.

This procurement shows that St Helens Council uses a limited-competition route for relatively small, below-threshold structural construction requirements in primary schools. A business seeking similar work from this buyer would need to demonstrate the practical ability to deliver structural construction safely in an occupied or operational education setting, manage a defined project scope, and complete works to the required standard within a short delivery programme. Relevant experience on primary schools, other education buildings or comparable public-sector construction projects would help establish credibility. Contractors should also be able to meet local-authority tender requirements, provide proportionate technical and commercial evidence, and mobilise resources for a focused works package. The appointed supplier’s SME status indicates that businesses of similar scale can be credible competitors for this type of requirement.
