Summary of the contracting process

Central Bedfordshire Council commissioned works at Flitwick Culvert, classified as footpath construction. The named project identifies the culvert at Flitwick as the focus of the work. The delivery address is associated with postcode SG17 5TQ, in the Shefford area of Bedfordshire. The council is the buyer, and the work is categorised as construction rather than goods or services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Gray & Sons Builders Ltd. The council made the award on 14 October 2026. The awarded value is £39,904.08. The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2027. The tender deadline was 24 September 2026 at noon. The procurement method is recorded as “Other”; no evaluation basis or lot breakdown is stated in the available process information.

This award shows that Central Bedfordshire Council buys construction work focused on a local culvert and footpath requirement, on a relatively small contract scale. Gray & Sons Builders Ltd was selected to carry out the work. Suppliers seeking to compete for a comparable requirement from this buyer would need to demonstrate credible ability to deliver culvert-related construction and footpath work. The recorded procurement does not identify specific technical standards, accreditations, staffing levels or experience thresholds, so those cannot be treated as established requirements for competing in similar work.
