Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottinghamshire County Council procured construction works to support a new Automated Distribution and Manufacturing Centre (ADMC) for Ashfield District Council. The scope covers infrastructure for new roads, including utility diversions and drainage works needed to facilitate the centre. This is a construction and civil engineering requirement, delivered in England and associated with the Ashfield area. The buying organisation is Nottinghamshire County Council, while the completed infrastructure is intended to enable Ashfield District Council’s ADMC project. The requirement is classified as construction work and falls within the works category. It is suited to businesses that deliver road infrastructure, utility diversion and drainage packages as part of larger development or industrial construction schemes.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 3 September 2025 to Lindum Group Ltd. The award value was £9,448,709.16, against an estimated procurement value of £9,448,779.16. The contract runs from 8 September 2025 to 14 May 2027. It was handled as a direct award through Scape’s Regional construction framework, following a benchmark exercise, rather than an open competition. The tender submission deadline was 5 August 2025. There was one requirement rather than separate lots. The published suitability assessment states that participation was not aimed at SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The selected supplier is recorded as a large organisation.

For suppliers that did not win, this award is evidence of a substantial, integrated civil engineering requirement from Nottinghamshire County Council linked to development in Ashfield. A credible future competitor would need to deliver new-road infrastructure together with utility diversions and drainage, and manage the interfaces between these works and a major distribution and manufacturing facility. The procurement route also matters: access to the relevant Scape Regional construction framework, or a comparable framework position, would be important for competing through a direct-award route after benchmarking. The buyer’s assessment favoured the capacity associated with a large organisation rather than SME or VCSE participation, indicating that future competitors should be able to manage a sizeable, coordinated construction package and demonstrate dependable delivery across multiple infrastructure disciplines.
