Summary of the contracting process

South Norfolk Council recently completed a tendering process for the "Infrastructure Works at Hethel Technology Park", located in Hethel, Norfolk. The procurement, initiated in March 2025 and planned under the UK's legal framework, saw South Norfolk Council acting as the buyer. It involved the construction of a roundabout and a link road, aimed at expanding Hethel Technology Park and accessing Lotus employment land. This project was part of a larger public works effort valued at approximately £6 million. The procurement was executed using a selective procedure featuring a Competitive Flexible Procedure, with key bidding activities culminating in December 2025. The single lot was awarded to Jackson Civil Engineering Ltd, with the contract slated to commence on 16 December 2025 and conclude by 30 November 2026.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly in the civil engineering and construction industry, to expand their portfolios by engaging with high-value public infrastructure projects. Large construction firms with expertise in road and roundabout construction, like Jackson Civil Engineering Ltd, are ideally positioned to benefit from contracts of this nature. The competitive flexible procedure employed allows for sufficient scope in demonstrating unique capabilities and value, encouraging diverse participation across qualified contractors. This project not only offers economic growth prospects through the awarded contract but also sets a precedent for future infrastructure tenders within the regional development initiatives, spurring local and regional economic growth.
