Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Abbots Avenue West Main Contract" involves the construction of four 3-bedroom social housing dwellings at the Abbots Avenue West garage site. Managed by St Albans City & District, the tender falls under the Construction industry, with the project located in the South East region of the United Kingdom. The process, completed under the 'Award' stage, concluded with an active award on 22nd October 2025. The procurement followed a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, with the contract period running from 22nd October 2025 to 19th January 2028. The total contract value awarded is £1,988,246.72, with the tender originally set to end on 15th September 2025.

This tender provides opportunities for growth particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within the construction sector. Companies specialising in construction work, especially those experienced in social housing projects, stand to benefit significantly. The selective procurement method indicates potential inclusion in current frameworks, suggesting that businesses with pre-existing relationships or that are part of relevant frameworks could find a valuable opportunity here. The emphasis on social housing projects may also appeal to construction companies with a track record in sustainable or community-focused building projects. Given the substantial contract value, this procurement process offers a rewarding prospect for businesses looking to expand their portfolio in the public sector.
