UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Castle Point Borough Council procured refurbishment and conversion works at Abbeyfield House, Chapple Lane, Hadleigh, Benfleet. The requirement was for suitable, qualified building contractors to carry out the conversion in line with the contract conditions and specifications. This is a construction project at a named property in the borough, rather than a general building-maintenance service. The procurement was divided into one lot. The awarded work is classified as construction, with the project focused specifically on Abbeyfield House refurbishment and conversion.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Indecon Building Ltd. The first award, dated 24 July 2025, was for £976,311 excluding VAT (£1,171,573.30 including VAT); its contract was cancelled on 7 November 2025 because additional design constraints increased costs by 50%. A later award to the same supplier was made on 10 June 2026 for £1,362,847 excluding VAT (£1,635,416.40 including VAT). The resulting contract was signed on 22 September 2026, valued at £1,198,429.90 excluding VAT (£1,438,115.88 including VAT), and runs from 22 September 2026 to 26 February 2027. The procurement was below the applicable threshold; no evaluation criteria are recorded.

For contractors competing for comparable Castle Point Borough Council work, this award demonstrates demand for a property-specific conversion and refurbishment requiring building-works capability and the ability to deliver to the council’s contract conditions and specifications. Indecon Building Ltd, an SME, secured the active contract, showing that a smaller contractor could undertake the requirement. A credible competitor would need suitable construction experience, qualified staff and the capacity to manage the design constraints that materially affected the earlier contract’s cost. The scale is a substantial, time-limited refurbishment rather than routine maintenance, so suppliers would need to resource a focused project at an occupied or otherwise operationally constrained property as applicable to its eventual specification; the data does not establish whether the building is occupied, so this should not be assumed.
