Summary of the contracting process

Cheshire West and Chester Council have completed the procurement process for the 'Northwich Market Fit Out', which falls under the construction industry category. This project involves creating a new market space for traders relocating within Northwich. The procurement process, classified as works, utilised a limited procurement method consistent with its below-threshold status, indicating a competitive but restricted bidding environment. The contract was awarded to MEDLOCK FRB LIMITED, a UK-based small-to-medium enterprise (SME) located in Oldham. The contract commenced on 2nd February 2026, and is set to conclude by 31st October 2026, with possible extensions if required by progress on the scheme. The total contract value amounts to £2,000,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the construction sector, particularly SMEs, looking to expand their portfolio within public sector projects. Companies specialising in construction work and seeking involvement in government projects can leverage this kind of involvement to enhance their credentials and industry standing. The emphasis on a limited competition procurement process suggests that experienced businesses with a strong track record of delivering within tight-knit competitive environments are well-suited to future opportunities of a similar nature. Moreover, the project's location in Northwich highlights opportunities for businesses with regional interest or base in the UKD6 region.
