Summary of the contracting process

West Suffolk Council procured works to internally refurbish a light industrial unit at 5 Craven Way, Newmarket. The requirement covered construction work for a warehouse or industrial building, including building construction and warehouse construction activities. The council is the public-sector buyer, and delivery is centred on the specified unit in Newmarket. This is a single works requirement rather than a supplies or services contract. The scope will suit contractors able to manage internal refurbishment in an industrial setting, coordinate construction activities on site and deliver a finished facility in line with the council’s technical requirements. The procurement classification is construction work (CPV 45000000), with more specific classifications for building, industrial-building and warehouse construction.

The procurement is complete and awarded following a below-threshold open competition. West Suffolk Council received 13 bids, all reaching the final stage, including 13 from SMEs. The contract was awarded to Aspect Group Services Ltd on 9 May 2025 for £84,128.76 gross. The award covers the single refurbishment lot. The awarded contract period runs from 15 September 2026 to 18 December 2026, with signature due on 15 September 2026. The original tender closed at noon on 15 April 2025, with clarification questions due by 5pm on 8 April 2025. Evaluation placed 55% on price, 30% on technical competence, 10% on environmental considerations and 5% on social value. Electronic submission was allowed through the Suffolk Sourcing Portal.

This award shows a defined requirement for internal refurbishment of a light industrial or warehouse unit for West Suffolk Council. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need practical construction capability, experience delivering internal works in operational or industrial buildings, and the capacity to manage a complete refurbishment within a council-led programme. Technical competence was the largest non-price consideration, so firms should be able to evidence suitably qualified staff, relevant project experience, sound methods and reliable delivery controls. Environmental performance and social value also formed part of the evaluation, favouring contractors able to demonstrate responsible construction practices and measurable community benefits. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that suitably capable smaller construction businesses can compete for this scale of council works.
