Summary of the contracting process

Central Bedfordshire Council procured building works for a single-storey extension, including house construction and bathroom construction. The requirement falls within general building construction and relates to residential property works. Delivery is associated with Shefford, Bedfordshire, using the postcode area SG17 5TQ. The buyer is Central Bedfordshire Council, which commissioned the works for its own premises or property portfolio. The scope is suited to a building contractor able to manage and deliver a small residential-style extension, including structural construction and bathroom-related works. The procurement is categorised as works rather than goods or services, so relevant businesses are main contractors and construction firms with practical delivery capability across these activities.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Central Bedfordshire Council selected Poplars Construction Ltd, with the award dated 17 September 2026. The recorded award value is £0 GBP. The awarded contract period runs from 21 September 2026 to 18 December 2026. The tender required quotations to be submitted electronically, with questions due by 22 May 2026 and quotations due by 1 June 2026; the tender record also gives a submission deadline of 8 June 2026 at 12:00. The tender status is complete. The published information identifies one award and one supplier. The tender was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations.

This award demonstrates demand from Central Bedfordshire Council for a contractor to deliver a defined building project combining a single-storey extension with residential construction and bathroom works. A credible future competitor would need to manage the complete construction package rather than provide only an isolated trade, coordinate the different elements, and deliver within a short, fixed programme. Relevant experience in extensions, house-building work, bathroom installation and public-sector project delivery would help establish capability. Firms should also be able to prepare clear quotations and supporting attachments and use an electronic tendering system correctly. The recorded supplier was a limited construction company, indicating that comparable building contractors with direct delivery capacity are the closest competitive peer group.
