## Summary

Uttlesford District Council procured cladding replacement and associated repair works at Waitrose car park, Elm Grove, Saffron Walden. The project covers removing selected areas of existing external cladding, installing new timber cladding systems, carrying out localised repairs and redecoration, and providing scaffolding, access and making-good work. The stated purpose is to restore the building to a safe and serviceable condition. Chelmsford City Council provided procurement support for Uttlesford District Council. This is a building-envelope refurbishment requirement combining cladding installation with related remedial and finishing work, rather than a supply-only purchase.

The procurement is complete and a contract has been awarded to Kirkman and Jourdain Limited following a below-threshold limited competition. Two bids were received, both from SMEs. The award was made on 7 September 2026, with a reported award value of £138,000 excluding VAT (£165,600 including VAT). The award period was stated as 28 September to 31 December 2026. The signed contract is active, signed on 21 September 2026, and records a value of £67,000 excluding VAT (£80,400 including VAT) and a period from 11 January to 1 March 2027. The requirement was arranged as one lot. The available process details do not set out the evaluation criteria.

For firms tracking future cladding refurbishment work for Uttlesford District Council, this contract shows demand for a combined package of external timber cladding replacement, localised building repairs, redecoration, scaffolding and access provision, and making-good. A credible competitor would need to manage these activities as a coordinated building-works project and deliver an outcome that leaves the structure safe and serviceable. The award went to an SME, and both bids recorded at the final stage were from SMEs, indicating that smaller firms competed for this requirement. Relevant capability is therefore likely to include practical cladding installation and repair experience, the capacity to organise access and scaffolding, and the ability to complete associated finishing works. The project was a single-lot competition, so suppliers would need to cover the integrated scope themselves or coordinate delivery across the required trades.
