Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Office Alterations and Refurbishment at Council Offices, High Street, Coleford" was undertaken by the Forest of Dean District Council, a sub-central government public authority in the United Kingdom. Located in Coleford, with the address High Street, GL16 8HG, this project falls under the industry category of refurbishment and building internal fittings. The procurement method used was an open, below-threshold competition, initiated on 1st July 2025, culminating in the award of the contract on 6th January 2026. Key works to be executed include office refurbishment, installation of new facilities, and improvements in various areas to accommodate new tenants. The construction work is valued at approximately £295,800.81 (gross), with completion expected by 13th March 2026.

This tender presents notable opportunities for businesses in the construction and refurbishment sector to expand their portfolio and collaborate with local government authorities. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), in particular, stand a significant chance to compete effectively given the open competition format and the project’s below-threshold status. The successful bidder, TALUS CONSTRUCTION LIMITED, a Cheltenham-based SME, was awarded the contract, demonstrating how smaller-scale enterprises can thrive in such procurement environments. Companies with expertise in building fittings, refurbishment, and flexible workspace arrangements would find bids of this nature highly beneficial for growth and establishing government contracts.
