UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, led by Norfolk County Council, entailed the award of a contract for refurbishment works at Hethersett Academy. Positioned within the 'works' category, specifically for building construction, the successful tenderer was DRAPER & NICHOLS LIMITED. This process culminated with the contract's active status, effective from 8th May 2025 through to 8th May 2026. The procurement method was noted as 'below threshold - unknown' within the sub-central government classification. The council operates from County Hall, Martineau Lane, Norwich, whereas the supplier is located at Gunton Lane, Norwich. This project falls under the legal framework denoted by UKPGA 2023/54, reflecting compliance with current procurement regulations.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses involved in building construction. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in refurbishment and construction are well-suited to compete in these types of contracts. The project not only furthers business growth through substantial project involvement but also allows successful bidders to establish a portfolio of public sector work. This enhances both presence and credentials in the construction industry, potentially leading to further opportunities within the public and private sectors.
