Summary of the contracting process

The North Northamptonshire Council is seeking competitive quotations for a construction project titled "The Corby Cube, Corby - Chamber smoke ventilation void wall sound proofing". The project falls under the construction work industry category and aims to address noise issues between the Theatre and the Council Chamber at the Corby Cube in Corby, England. This procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with important dates including the publication on 22nd August 2025 and a tender period ending on 31st October 2025. The contract is scheduled to begin on 1st December 2025 and end on 31st March 2026. The procurement is being conducted via a limited procurement method, specifically a competitive quotation process below the threshold, indicating a more streamlined approach suitable for projects of this scale.

The opportunity presents a promising avenue for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to expand their business footprint within the public sector. Businesses with expertise in soundproofing and construction works, particularly those familiar with public building infrastructure, would be well-positioned to deliver on this contract. Given the project's emphasis on noise reduction and sound insulation, companies specialising in acoustic solutions or construction improvements in public facilities will find this tender suitable. The project's value at just under £50,000 offers a balanced risk-reward scenario for SMEs looking to establish or enhance their presence in public sector contracts.
