## Summary

Cheshire West and Chester Council commissioned the supply and installation of Grade D assets across its borough. The assets were identified for replacement through a Council condition survey, so the requirement covers remedial replacement work rather than a general maintenance programme. The procurement is categorised as repair and maintenance services (CPV 50000000). Delivery is across the Cheshire West and Chester area. The council is the public-sector buyer, based in Ellesmere Port. The work may suit contractors that can supply the specified Grade D assets, carry out installation safely and efficiently, and manage replacement activity across multiple locations within a local-authority area. The requirement is a single completed lot.

This procurement has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 25 August 2026 and awarded to Groundwork & Leisure Services Ltd, a Wrexham-based supplier. The contract is active and runs from 29 September 2026 to 29 September 2029, with one available 12-month extension taking the maximum end date to 29 September 2030. Its value is £35,000 excluding VAT and £42,000 including VAT. The tender had one lot, covering the borough-wide supply and installation requirement, and that lot is complete. The recorded award covers repair and maintenance services. The procurement used limited competition rather than an open procedure, and the contract includes a renewal option.

For a supplier that did not win, this award provides a clear benchmark for competing for similar Grade D asset replacement work for Cheshire West and Chester Council. A credible competitor would need to combine reliable supply with practical installation capability, resource teams to deliver replacement work across the borough, and demonstrate effective management of work identified through condition surveys. The requirement favours contractors able to coordinate materials, site activity and completion records within a public-sector environment, while maintaining consistent quality across multiple locations. Groundwork & Leisure Services Ltd is an SME, showing that the scale and delivery model can be handled by a smaller specialist contractor. Relevant repair, maintenance and installation experience would strengthen a future response.
