Summary of the contracting process

Bassetlaw District Council procured building and refurbishment works for Conway Gardens, an existing independent living residential facility in Retford, Nottinghamshire. The requirement covers refurbishment of the facility and associated improvements to the external areas. This is a construction project rather than a supply or routine service contract, and the work is focused on improving an operational residential setting for independent living. The council is the buyer, with Welland Procurement managing the procurement. The project is associated with the Conway Gardens site and its surrounding external areas in Retford. Businesses suited to this opportunity would therefore be construction contractors with relevant refurbishment capability, including the ability to coordinate internal building work with external improvement works at a residential facility.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Gelder Ltd and Gelder Limited on 8 January 2026. It was a single-lot, below-threshold open competition. The awarded and contracted value is £4,500,000 excluding VAT, or £5,400,000 including VAT. The award period ran from 2 February 2026 to 30 August 2027, while the signed contract period runs from 6 June 2026 to 30 August 2027. Evaluation was based on 70% quality and 30% price. The tender submission deadline was 29 September 2025 at noon, and the enquiry period ended on 22 September 2025. Fifteen bids were received, with four valid final-stage bids, all from small and medium-sized enterprises.

This award shows that Bassetlaw District Council has demand for substantial refurbishment and construction work in an independent living residential environment, combined with external improvement works. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate experience delivering comparable building refurbishment projects, managing work in or around residential accommodation, and coordinating multiple construction activities through to completion. The requirement also indicates that smaller construction businesses can reach the final stage of this buyer’s competition: all four final-stage bids came from small and medium-sized enterprises. Strong quality evidence matters particularly in this market, so suppliers should be able to explain their delivery approach, project management, workmanship, risk control, stakeholder coordination and arrangements for maintaining a suitable residential environment during the works. Relevant experience with public-sector construction procurements would strengthen a future response.
