Summary of the contracting process

The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council has concluded a direct procurement process for the "Squire Lane Enabling Works" contract, selecting Morgan Sindall Construction & Infrastructure Ltd as the preferred contractor. This project, categorized under civil engineering works, involves tree felling and site clearance in preparation for further surveys at the Squire Lane location. The procurement method was below threshold and without competition, indicating a non-competitive process. This award, with a gross contract value of £8,121,811.2, was signed on 13th January 2026, with the work scheduled from 2nd February to 9th March 2026, avoiding the bird nesting season.

The Squire Lane Enabling Works project presents significant opportunities for large construction and infrastructure firms, particularly those with expertise in enabling works and site clearance. Engaging in such high-value contracts can enhance a company's portfolio and establish relationships with public authorities like the City of Bradford Council. Although this specific contract was directly awarded to a large enterprise, it indicates potential future opportunities for businesses that can offer competitive services in similar public infrastructure projects. Such engagements are ideal for businesses that can operate efficiently under tight schedules and specific regulatory guidelines.
