Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

City of York Council procured Willow House Enabling Works, a construction project involving site preparation and associated enabling works. The work is categorised as site preparation work (CPV 45100000) and is to be delivered in York, Yorkshire and the Humber. The council is the buying organisation and the requirement is classified as works rather than goods or services. The named requirement concerns Willow House, but the available description does not break the works into individual activities. The procurement was made through the council’s construction purchasing arrangements, with F Parkinson Ltd identified as the appointed supplier. This is therefore relevant to construction contractors with capability in site preparation and enabling works for public-sector buildings or sites in and around York.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. City of York Council used a selective procedure to make a direct award through lot 1.1 of the CCS Construction Works Framework, described as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 26 June 2026 at 12 noon, and the award was made to F Parkinson Ltd on 14 July 2026. The awarded value is £658,752 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 28 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The award is active and the tender is complete. The published process records no competitive tender evaluation breakdown; the route was a framework call-off rather than an open competition. The requirement was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award provides a clear indication of City of York Council’s demand for substantial site preparation and enabling works delivered through a construction framework. Businesses seeking comparable work would need proven capability in enabling and site preparation projects, together with the operational capacity to deliver a council contract of this scale within a defined project period. The selected supplier, F Parkinson Ltd, is a construction business based near York, indicating the relevance of established regional contractors able to mobilise locally. Because the council used a framework call-off and marked the requirement as unsuitable for SMEs, credible future competitors would need access to an appropriate public-sector construction framework and sufficient organisational scale, resources and experience to meet framework and council requirements.
