Summary of the contracting process

Tunbridge Wells Borough Council procured building construction works for the Benhall Mill Road Parks Depot. The requirement covers refurbishment of the existing crematorium depot building and construction of a new garage to house machinery, in line with the tender design information. The work is for the Council and is to be delivered in the Tunbridge Wells area of Kent. The procurement’s main category is works, classified under CPV 45210000, building construction work. The requirement is a single construction package rather than separate lots. It would suit contractors able to undertake refurbishment alongside new-build garage construction, coordinate both elements and deliver the completed depot facilities in accordance with the specified design.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. The tender deadline was 30 January 2026 at 12:00, with enquiries closing on 23 January 2026 at 12:00. Ten bids were received and two reached the final stage. The sole lot was evaluated 70% on cost and 30% on quality, and was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. AMMCASS Construction Engineering Group Limited was awarded the contract on 13 March 2026 for £638,000 gross. The award period was 1 April to 31 December 2026. The contract was signed on 14 July 2026, with its recorded active period running to 31 December 2026, at the same gross value of £638,000.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Tunbridge Wells Borough Council for combined public-sector refurbishment and new-build construction at a depot site. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the capacity to manage work to an existing building while constructing a new garage, interpret and deliver against detailed design information, and control cost without compromising quality. The evaluation split shows that price is the dominant consideration, but quality remains material, so suppliers would need a clear method for demonstrating both value and delivery capability. The competition attracted ten bids, with two reaching the final stage, indicating that the Council’s construction opportunities can draw a substantial field and that robust tender preparation is important.
