Summary of the contracting process

Central Bedfordshire Council (CBC), located at Priory House, Chicksands, UKH25, is leading a construction framework tender titled "CBC-1212-T-CE Construction Framework", under the industry category of building construction work. This procurement process, initiated through a selective method known as the restricted procedure, aims to appoint building construction partners for various projects in East Anglia (UKH), Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire (UKF2), and Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire (UKJ1). The framework encompasses different lots categorised by project values, ranging from up to £750,000 to projects in excess of £15 million, including modular and temporary classroom buildings. The ongoing procurement stage involves tender updates, with a framework extension until September 30, 2026, ensuring the continuation of current programmes. This is part of a larger £500 million procurement programme, originally tendered and awarded in March 2022, with framework agreements effective since February 25, 2022.

This tender represents significant opportunities for a range of construction businesses, from SMEs to large-scale firms, as it provides access to numerous contracts within varying financial limits. Businesses specialised in refurbishment, modular builds, and large scale construction are well-suited to compete, as the framework includes intricate projects such as new builds, modular setups, and large-scale refurbishments. Participation involves numerous suppliers, divided into six active lots, providing market reach across multiple regions in the UK. The framework agreement allows a comprehensive approach to project delivery, promoting growth for experienced contractors capable of meeting quality and price criteria. This selective procurement method facilitates predictable business growth due to structured award criteria and scheduled renewals, enticing reputable firms, including those already active in the framework, like Kier Construction Ltd and Beardwell Construction Ltd, to leverage these opportunities.
