Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Central Bedfordshire Council procured replacement composite decking at Flitwick Children’s Centre, including upgrades to the existing subframe and supporting structures. This is a small works requirement combining external construction, decking installation and associated structural improvement. The procurement was classified as landscaping work (CPV 45112700), although the practical scope is specifically focused on replacing a decking area rather than general landscaping. Delivery is at the children’s centre in Flitwick, Bedfordshire. The requirement is relevant to contractors able to assess an existing subframe, install composite decking and carry out associated support or ground-level works safely in a children’s centre environment. The council is the buyer and contracting authority.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Hickman Property Services LTD on 13 August 2026. The recorded award value is £0 in GBP. The contract period runs from 3 August 2026 to 20 September 2026. It was run as a quotation process using an electronic tendering system, with completed quotations and attachments submitted electronically. The tender deadline was 27 July 2026 at 10:00, and questions were due by 21 July 2026. Quotations were evaluated as part of the council’s quotation process, with clarification responses shared with tenderers for consistency. The award is active and the tender itself is marked complete. There were no lots, so the requirement was awarded as a single package.

This award provides a clear indication that Central Bedfordshire Council buys focused outdoor improvement works for its children’s-centre estate, rather than only large construction projects. A credible future supplier would need practical experience replacing composite decking and improving existing subframes and supports, with the ability to inspect an installed structure, identify remedial work and deliver a safe, durable finish. Relevant firms are likely to be property maintenance, building works, decking installation or external works contractors with suitable site-management and health-and-safety arrangements for working at an occupied children’s facility. The council recorded the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so competitors should consider whether their organisational capacity, compliance arrangements and delivery resources match the buyer’s stated procurement profile.
