Summary of the contracting process

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE), a central government public authority located at Redgrave Court, Merton Road, Bootle, Merseyside, has completed a procurement process for modification works to Building 68A (Facade Test Structure) at their laboratory in Buxton, United Kingdom. This construction project aims to re-purpose an on-site structure for use as a facade fire test facility. The process was conducted using an open procurement method, specifically a below-threshold open competition. Initiated in April 2025, the tender’s submission deadline was set for 8th May 2025, with the contract awarded to BUILD 4 GROWTH LTD. The contract has a total gross value of £55,200.38 and covers the period from 30th June 2025 to 26th September 2025.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) within the construction industry, especially those with expertise in re-purposing and structural modifications for specialised testing facilities. Given the nature of the project, businesses specialising in facade constructions and fireproofing might find it particularly advantageous. The successful completion of such contracts can help businesses establish a track record of working with central government entities and potentially lead to future collaborations and larger projects. Note that the successful bidder, BUILD 4 GROWTH LTD, located in Sheffield, is an SME, signifying potential competitive advantages for companies of a similar size and operational scope aiming to engage in public sector construction projects.
