## Summary

Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council procured building works for Billingham South Community Primary School. The requirement covered replacing the ceilings in two classrooms, removing asbestos from contaminated loft spaces, and reinstating the affected finishes. The works form the first phase of a longer-term programme to stabilise lath and plaster ceilings, prevent further collapse and provide a safe environment for pupils, staff and those maintaining the building. This is a construction project for an education building, with the work taking place at the school in Billingham, Stockton-on-Tees. The council is the public-sector buyer and the requirement is classified as construction work for buildings used for education and research.

The procurement has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. LIVECO LIMITED was selected for the single lot, and the tender is recorded as complete. The contract was signed on 6 July 2026 and has a contract period from 17 July 2026 to 1 September 2026. The awarded contract value is £99,994.95 excluding VAT, or £119,993.94 including VAT. The contract is recorded as active. The award covers the ceiling replacement, asbestos removal and reinstatement works described for the school. The process used a limited competition rather than an open tender, so the opportunity demonstrates the council’s route for appointing a contractor to this below-threshold requirement.

This procurement shows demand from Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council for specialist building contractors able to work safely in occupied or sensitive education settings, although the incidents that prompted the project occurred while the school was unoccupied. A credible future supplier would need practical experience of ceiling replacement and remedial building works, particularly lath and plaster ceilings, together with the capability to manage asbestos contamination in loft spaces and reinstate internal finishes. The requirement also favours contractors able to plan phased works, coordinate structural stabilisation and deliver safe, durable outcomes in a school environment. Relevant construction capacity, competent site management and evidence of completing comparable education-building projects would strengthen a competitor’s position when this buyer next assesses similar work.

## Notice

Stockton on Tees Borough Council is seeking bids for the provision of replacing the ceilings to 2Nr Classrooms including the removal of Asbestos and reinstatement of finishes In early 2025, several incidents occurred where sections of the lath and plaster ceilings fell into classrooms, fortunately while the school was unoccupied. This prompted further investigations and a structural assessment of all lath and plaster ceilings throughout the school. The assessment concluded that remedial works were required to stabilise the ceilings and prevent further collapse. To further compound the issue, an asbestos survey identified contamination within the loft spaces resulting from historic mechanical and electrical installation works. This project represents the first phase of a long-term programme of works aimed at providing a safe environment for the school's occupants and those responsible for maintaining the building in the future.
