Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, entitled "PR43 Package 1 - Row Town/Halls entrance widening," was conducted by the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), located in London, United Kingdom. This procurement, falling under the construction industry category, specifically involved Section 278 Gate widening works at Weybridge. Initially tagged as a limited procurement method, the contract was directly awarded without prior publication due to a lack of suitable competition.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in construction work, particularly those capable of undertaking infrastructure modifications like gate widening projects. Large construction firms with a proven track record, such as Willmott Dixon Construction Limited, are typically well-positioned to compete in such bids. Although the procurement process was closed directly due to a lack of competition, businesses planning to target similar future tenders should focus on building robust frameworks and capabilities in specialised public infrastructure projects to enhance their competitiveness.
