North Northamptonshire Council, a public authority within sub-central government, executed a contract for constructing a Metrology Laboratory, labelled under the industry category of construction works. This contracting process, governed by UK legislation 2023/54, was carried out under a limited procurement method due to its below-threshold nature, culminating in the award stage. The contract was awarded to MCN Group Limited, a small and medium-sized enterprise based in Stevenage, with completion set for 24th December 2025. The laboratory project covered various regions across the United Kingdom, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, among others.
