Summary of the contracting process

Worcester City Council, a sub-central government public authority, recently completed the procurement process for the conversion of the first floor of Comer Gardens Institute in Worcester, UK. This project involved extensive refurbishment work, including lobby extension, alterations to stairs, enhancements to the ground floor ceiling, and various external decorations. The contract, awarded on 9th December 2025, entered into effect on 5th January 2026 and is scheduled to conclude on 15th April 2026. Conducted via an open competition procurement method, this project represents a works category contract that was awarded to SNAPE CONTRACTING SERVICES LTD.

This tender presented an opportunity for businesses in the construction and refurbishment sectors, particularly SMEs like SNAPE CONTRACTING SERVICES LTD, to enhance their portfolios by undertaking public sector projects. The open competition allowed businesses registered on the Proactis Pro-Contract portal to access procurement documents and submit electronic bids, enabling them to gain visibility and build relationships with a significant public authority client. Companies with expertise in refurbishment work were especially well-suited to apply, as the criteria focused heavily on quality and price, each contributing to the overall evaluation of submissions. Such projects not only provide a platform to showcase technical proficiency in executing detailed refurbishments but also foster potential for securing future government contracts through demonstrated capability and proven performance.
