Summary of the contracting process

Wiltshire Council commissioned groundworks for affordable homes at Bartlett House in Ludgershall, Wiltshire. The work is site preparation for a housing development, supporting delivery of affordable homes. The procurement covers one lot and the work is located in Wiltshire. The buyer is Wiltshire Council, based in Trowbridge. This is a construction works requirement rather than a supply of goods or an ongoing service. The award identifies site preparation as the classified work; the available description does not break the groundworks down into specific tasks such as excavation, drainage or foundations. The project is tied to Bartlett House, so its commercial relevance is strongest for contractors with experience delivering groundworks and site preparation for housing schemes in the area.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Rigg Construction Limited. Wiltshire Council used a below-threshold limited competition. The award was made on 7 August 2025, and the contract was signed on 13 March 2026. The contract value is £1,471,028 excluding VAT (£1,765,233 including VAT). The award records a contract period from 2 September 2025 to 4 September 2026; the contract record gives a period from 16 March 2026 to 11 June 2027. The process comprised one lot, covering the Bartlett House groundworks requirement. The published information names no separate evaluation criteria, so the basis on which competing tenders were assessed cannot be summarised beyond the fact that the council ran a limited competition.

This award shows that Wiltshire Council purchases substantial site-preparation and groundworks packages to support affordable housing development, using a limited competition for a below-threshold contract. A credible competitor for comparable Bartlett House work would need to demonstrate the capacity to undertake construction groundworks at housing-project scale and relevant site-preparation experience. The successful supplier, Rigg Construction Limited, is identified as an SME, showing that this package was delivered by a small or medium-sized contractor rather than necessarily requiring a large national business. The scope published is broad, with no detailed breakdown of technical tasks or accreditation requirements, so the strongest evidence for future competitors is relevant groundworks experience and the ability to deliver a housing-site package for a local authority.
