Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Milton Keynes Council procured the pre-construction services agreement (PCSA) stage for the major refurbishment of Warwick Activity Centre. The requirement is building completion and refurbishment work, covering the works needed to advance the centre’s wider major refurbishment programme. Delivery is in the South East of England. The procurement is categorised as works and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The named buyer is Milton Keynes Council, while the selected supplier is Borras Construction Limited. The scope is described as major refurbishment works rather than a standalone supply of goods or routine maintenance, so relevant businesses are building contractors and refurbishment specialists able to support a PCSA stage for a substantial activity-centre project.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective further competition under Lot 1 of the Pagabo National Framework for Refit and Refurbishment Solutions, with a call-off from that framework as the procurement method. The tender submission deadline was 8 July 2026 at 12:00. The award was made on 4 August 2026 to Borras Construction Limited for £40,762.22 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 5 August 2026 to 9 September 2026. The award is active, and the contract period aligns with the tender’s stated delivery period. This was a single requirement rather than a procurement divided into multiple lots, with the competition conducted through the framework’s Lot 1 route.

This award indicates demand from Milton Keynes Council for major refurbishment and building completion capability at Warwick Activity Centre, delivered through a national refit and refurbishment framework. A business seeking to compete when comparable requirements return would need to be able to undertake refurbishment works and provide the pre-construction services associated with a PCSA stage. Experience of working through framework call-offs and further competitions would be commercially relevant, as would the capacity to coordinate and progress a defined refurbishment package for an operational activity centre. The award to an SME shows that organisations of this scale can win this type of council-led requirement, provided they can demonstrate a credible construction delivery capability and framework-based procurement experience.
