Summary of the contracting process

Nottinghamshire County Council commissioned the construction of a new Automated Manufacturing and Distribution Centre (ADMC) for Ashfield District Council, together with associated external works. This is a major construction works requirement, classified under CPV 45000000. Delivery is in England, United Kingdom. The project covers the physical building and the external works needed to complete and support the centre. The procurement was arranged through the Scape Regional construction framework, with Nottinghamshire County Council acting as the buyer. It is relevant to principal contractors, construction companies and firms with the capability to deliver substantial new-build facilities and associated external infrastructure. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, although the selected supplier is recorded as a large organisation.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award under the Scape Regional construction framework. The tender submission deadline was 27 August 2025 at 23:59. The contract was awarded to Lindum Group Ltd on 1 September 2025 for £11,333,827.19 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 8 September 2025 to 28 May 2027. The award is recorded as active. The procurement used a direct-award route rather than an open competition, and the requirement was evaluated within that framework route. One supplier is identified for the construction works. The contract concerns the full ADMC building project and associated external works for Ashfield District Council.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Nottinghamshire County Council for a substantial, complex construction project serving Ashfield District Council. Competitors seeking similar work would need credible capability in delivering new-build commercial or industrial facilities, coordinating associated external works and managing a sizeable construction programme through to completion. The selected supplier’s profile indicates that the buyer was comfortable appointing a large construction business, while the requirement itself was marked as suitable for SMEs, which may create a role for capable smaller contractors, specialist partners or supply-chain firms. Relevant businesses should understand the Scape Regional construction framework and its direct-award mechanisms, as framework access and established public-sector delivery capability were central to this procurement route. Experience managing council stakeholders, programme risk, quality, safety and coordinated site delivery would strengthen credibility when this type of requirement returns.
