Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the project titled "Conway Gardens" was undertaken by Bassetlaw District Council, located in Worksop, United Kingdom. This open competition procurement aimed to refurbish an independent living residential facility and make external improvements at Conway Gardens, Retford, Nottinghamshire. This was categorised under the building construction industry, specifically "works" according to the CPV classification. The tendering stage of the process began in August 2025, with the deadline for tender submissions on 29th September 2025. The process was conducted by Welland Procurement as the procuring entity, also based in the UK. The award stage was finalised on 8th January 2026, and the contract with a gross value of GBP 5,400,000 was awarded to Gelder Ltd. The contract period is set to start on 2nd February 2026 and conclude by 30th August 2027.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for companies within the construction sector, particularly those with capabilities in refurbishing residential facilities. The project offers a gateway for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Gelder Ltd, HLS MCCONNELL LIMITED, and others that participated, to expand their portfolio with public sector contracts. With a focus on quality over price (70% quality, 30% price), businesses that can demonstrate high-quality project delivery stand well-placed to compete. The geographical focus on Nottinghamshire also provides regional businesses a chance to build relationships with local authorities and showcase their expertise in significant community-focused projects.
