## Summary

The Forestry Commission is seeking roof refurbishment and solar installation works at Sleight’s House, Westonbirt Arboretum. The project covers renewing the existing pitched roof coverings and roofline components, including rainwater goods, fascias, soffits and barge boards, with repairs to roof substrates where required. It also includes improvements to the garage’s flat roof and the design, supply, installation, testing and commissioning of roof-mounted solar photovoltaic systems, with associated electrical and structural work. The aim is to provide safe, weatherproof and durable buildings, reduce maintenance needs and generate renewable energy. This is building construction work (CPV 45210000). Delivery is at Westonbirt Arboretum, Gloucestershire.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition. The procurement is for one lot, with the opportunity identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The deadline for enquiries was 30 October 2026 at 17:00 UTC; the bid submission deadline was 13 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract period is 1 March to 30 June 2027. The estimated value is £90,000 excluding VAT (£108,000 including VAT). The award criteria are set out in the Invitation to Tender documents.

This work is suited to building contractors with experience in roof renewal and refurbishment, including pitched and flat roofs, roofline components and rainwater goods. Suppliers need to be able to identify and carry out necessary repairs to roof substrates, as well as refurbish or renew garage flat roofing.

Contractors able to coordinate roofing and solar activities and deliver durable, maintainable work will be well placed to meet the requirement. The procurement is identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.
