Summary of the contracting process

Nottinghamshire County Council procured pre-construction services for the North Kirkby Gateway project. The requirement covers project management through RIBA Stages 3 and 4, together with design, surveying and programming support. It is a professional construction and built-environment services contract, including architectural, engineering and inspection work. Delivery is in England, for the Ashfield District Council project. The work is intended to develop and support the project before construction, requiring coordination across design, surveys, programme development and project management. Businesses operating in construction consultancy, architectural and engineering design, surveying, project controls or pre-construction management would find the scope relevant, particularly where they can provide an integrated service across these disciplines.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 8 December 2025 following a further competition through the Pagabo Medium Works framework. It used a selective restricted procedure. Bids were due by 3 November 2025. The contract was awarded to RG Carter Cambridge Ltd for £560,968.27 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 9 December 2025 to 30 September 2026. Nottinghamshire County Council is the buyer, while the project concerns Ashfield District Council. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, and the published outcome records one supplier for the full requirement.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand for integrated pre-construction support on a substantial gateway development project. A credible competitor for a future requirement from this buyer would need experienced project managers able to lead RIBA Stage 3 and 4 activities, coordinate design development, commission or manage surveys, and produce reliable construction programmes. Capability across architectural, engineering, inspection and construction disciplines would help meet the combined scope without fragmented delivery. Experience of working through a public-sector framework, particularly a further competition under Pagabo, would be commercially relevant. The requirement was marked suitable for SMEs, so a capable specialist or consortium with the necessary technical resources and capacity could be well placed.
