UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Stevenage Borough Council has engaged in a public procurement process for the relocation of North Herts College's Construction Campus to the Stevenage Indoor Market. The tender, initiated with the tag 'planning', involved the conversion of a multi-storey car park's ground floor into educational facilities. The procurement was conducted under an open procedure and has now reached the 'award' and 'contract' stages. R G Carter Cambridge Limited was selected as the supplier in this project, which involves significant construction work valued at approximately £4,590,762. The relevant locations in the United Kingdom are covered by postal regions UKH12 and UKH23, with the project planned to be completed between November 2025 and June 2026.

This tender represents a prime opportunity for businesses involved in the construction sector, particularly those with capability in educational infrastructure development, to apply their expertise and benefit from local government investments in educational facilities. Although a large-scale contractor was awarded the project, the process could benefit medium to large enterprises skilled in construction and refurbishment. This alignment with Stevenage Borough Council's investment in local educational infrastructure also provides networking potential with local authorities for future projects, aiding in business growth within the UK construction industry.
