Summary of the contracting process

Melton Borough Council is procuring the design and construction of its Stockyard project in Melton. The requirement is primarily building construction work, covering architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services as part of the awarded work. It is a works procurement with a concession special regime. The council is the buyer and Welland Procurement managed the process. The project is divided into one lot and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The awarded supplier is Robertson Construction Group Limited, a large construction company. The requirement therefore suits contractors able to combine design capability with construction delivery and related technical, engineering and inspection services for a council-led development project.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. Six valid bids were received, including three from SMEs. The award was made to Robertson Construction Group Limited on 26 March 2026 at £10,334,600 excluding VAT (£12,401,519.64 including VAT). The award contract period runs from 14 April 2026 to 1 January 2028, with an option to award construction following the initial design phase if supplier performance is satisfactory. A signed active PCSA Agreement runs from 5 May 2026 to 21 August 2028 and is valued at £167,695.24 excluding VAT (£201,234.29 including VAT). The sole lot was evaluated on quality weighted at 60% and price at 40%.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates substantial council demand for an integrated design-and-build construction capability, with design work forming the initial phase and construction potentially following through an option. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to provide building construction alongside architectural, engineering and inspection services, and show the capacity to manage both the technical design stage and later delivery. The competition attracted six valid bids from a mix of large businesses and SMEs, with three final-stage bids from SMEs, indicating that smaller firms can engage with the requirement. Strong quality performance matters more than price alone, since quality carried the greater weighting in evaluation. SMEs with suitable delivery capacity and multidisciplinary construction teams may therefore be well placed.
