Summary of the contracting process

North Northamptonshire Council has completed a procurement process for the main contract works for the ARC Lobby Alteration Project at The Chester House Estate. This project falls under the construction industry category and is located in the UKF25 region of the United Kingdom, specifically in Corby. The procurement, which used a limited competition method below the threshold, has moved to the awarding stage, with the contract signed on 15th January 2026 and expected to conclude by 30th April 2027. The awarded contract is valued at £28,950, with a gross amount of £34,740, and it falls under the "works" procurement category.

This project presents an opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the construction industry, such as Forstarr Building Services Ltd, which was awarded the contract. Businesses with expertise in construction works and a capability to handle building alteration projects stand to benefit. The limited competition procurement method indicates potential opportunities for firms that are agile and responsive to smaller-scale, regional projects. Engaging in such public sector opportunities can foster business growth, expand portfolios, and reinforce relationships with sub-central government bodies like North Northamptonshire Council.
