UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process for the "EPP0188 - Abbeyfield House" contract initiated by Castle Point Borough Council has been cancelled as of 10 November 2025 due to unforeseen design constraints leading to a substantial increase in costs. The project, aimed at converting Abbeyfield House located in Hadleigh, Benfleet, was initially awarded to Indecon Building Ltd, a small to medium enterprise (SME) from Wickford. This contract, under the category of construction work, had a gross value of £1,171,573.30 and was set to commence on 1 September 2025, concluding by 2 February 2026. Despite the award notification published in July, the procurement was ultimately terminated following the award stage due to financial escalations.

This tender offered significant opportunities for contractors with expertise in the construction industry, particularly those well-versed in renovation and refurbishment projects within the public sector. Businesses adept at managing complex construction contracts with the ability to adapt to the procurement requirements of sub-central government entities could have found this project particularly beneficial for showcasing their capabilities. Despite the cancellation, it highlights the importance for vendors to prepare for dynamic project scopes and financial assessments when engaging in public tenders, reinforcing the need for flexible and efficient project management strategies.
