Summary of the contracting process

Dacorum Borough Council has decided to award a contract to Bugler Developments Ltd for the construction of a mixed-use development at the Hub, located in Hemel Hempstead (UKH23). This contract follows a previous award to ARJ Construction Ltd in 2023, which was subsequently rendered inactive due to the company's administration. The procurement process has progressed to the Award stage with a contract value of £20,000,000 signed on 20th August 2024. The project falls under the Construction work category (CPV: 45000000) and is critical to maintaining funding continuity. The procurement method used was limited, specifically negotiated without the publication of a contract notice due to extreme urgency caused by unforeseeable events affecting the Council's funding stream.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the construction sector, particularly those experienced in mixed-use developments, to establish or strengthen their market presence. Companies with expertise in project continuity, especially when stepping in under urgent conditions, will find this tender particularly well-suited to their capabilities. Additionally, suppliers who can navigate and adapt to unforeseen project dynamics and maintain strict adherence to funding requirements will be in a favourable position to compete.
