Summary of the contracting process

Castlethorpe Parish Council commissioned construction work to extend its existing cricket pavilion with a single-storey side extension. The work is at Castlethorpe Sports Ground, off Thrupp Close, Castlethorpe, Milton Keynes. This is a defined building project focused on adding space to a sports pavilion, rather than a general facilities or grounds-maintenance contract. The council is the buyer, and the recorded supplier, Hickfords Construction, is based in Milton Keynes. The procurement was treated as works and classified as construction work (CPV 45000000).

The procurement is complete and an award has been made to Hickfords Construction. The contract is active and was signed on 10 January 2025, with a recorded contract value of £272,926. The award date is not stated. The original estimated value was £200,000; the planned contract duration was 210 days. It was a single-lot procurement using a competitive procedure with negotiation. Price was the stated award criterion. Bids were due by 11 August 2023, and five bids were recorded. The lot is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active; the published information therefore gives conflicting status signals for the lot and the awarded contract.

This project demonstrates demand from Castlethorpe Parish Council for small-scale building work at a community sports facility. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to deliver a single-storey extension to an existing pavilion, with the construction capability and capacity to manage a defined building project on a sports-ground site. The selected supplier was a Milton Keynes SME, showing that a local small business competed successfully; five bids were recorded, so price competition was material. The procurement used negotiation as part of a competitive process, and price was the stated award basis. Construction firms with relevant extension experience, effective cost control and the ability to work on an occupied or operational community facility would be well placed to demonstrate fit for this buyer’s requirement.
