Roofing Tenders and Contracts

Most roofing work that goes out to tender is planned and reactive maintenance on buildings already in use: flat roof replacement on housing blocks, re-roofing on schools, asbestos removal ahead of a new roof, and repair work following storm damage or a failed survey. New-build roofing appears mostly as a line item inside a wider construction contract rather than its own notice.

Stotles brings together roofing tenders and contracts from 100+ portals into one search, so you do not have to check each portal separately, and you can set alerts for new opportunities across the UK and Ireland.

If you want to search the government portals directly, Find a Tender carries higher-value contracts across the UK and Contracts Finder carries lower-value contracts in England. Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales and eTendersNI cover Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Ireland's eTenders covers Irish public bodies, and many councils, NHS bodies and housing associations publish on their own e-tendering portals such as ProContract. Larger re-roofing programmes appear on Find a Tender, while single-building roof repairs often appear only on Contracts Finder or a council's own portal.

Roofing tenders are scored on price alongside method statements, the roofing system and guarantees offered, programme and health and safety at height. Councils and housing associations let a lot of roofing through frameworks and dynamic purchasing systems, so getting onto them comes before winning individual schemes.

Roofing work must follow the Work at Height Regulations 2005 and the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, and buyers check safe systems of work and operative training. Tenders usually set minimum insurance cover, check financial standing and ask for evidence of similar roofing contracts at selection stage. Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers can be excluded for certain criminal convictions, insolvency or failure to pay tax.

Yes. Framework agreements for roofing contractors and for roofing materials are common at local authority and housing association level, with individual repair or replacement jobs issued as call-offs under the framework rather than as fresh open tenders. Watching the framework awards as well as the open notices catches work that never appears as a standalone tender.

Roofing is bought through several public-sector frameworks, depending on whether the buyer needs a contractor, a materials supplier or design consultancy. SCAPE's regional construction framework is used by councils such as Nottingham City Council to call off school re-roofing and roofing repair programmes. Scotland Excel's construction materials framework has a building and roofing materials section, which councils such as Fife Council and North Ayrshire Council use for mini-competitions to supply roofing materials.

NHS Property Services calls off the NHS Shared Business Services healthcare planning, construction consultancy and ancillary services framework to appoint architects, project managers and multi-disciplinary teams for hospital and health centre roof replacements.

Local authorities and housing associations account for most of the volume, largely stock maintenance on council and social housing. Schools, NHS trusts and heritage bodies also tender roofing work regularly, usually smaller single-building jobs rather than multi-year programmes.

Read capital programmes, planned maintenance schedules, estate condition surveys and early market engagement notices, which show roofing work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.

Roofing notices carry 45261900 (Roof repair and maintenance work) and 44112500 (Roofing materials).
