Summary of the contracting process

Cambridgeshire County Council is conducting an open procurement process for the "Relocation of Temporary Buildings (Including Associated Site Works and Services Installations)", with a gross value of £4,800,000. This active tender, under the construction work category, aims to form a term contract with a single supplier for the movement, installation, and potential disposal of council-owned temporary buildings. The procurement is in the tender update stage, and submissions must be electronically completed via the Council’s e-tendering portal by 12:00 on 11th March 2026. The contract begins on 1st May 2026, running for an initial period of 36 months, with a potential extension for an additional 12 months, focusing on the UKH12 region (Cambridgeshire, UK).

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for contractors specialising in construction, modular building relocation, and associated site works to establish a lasting business relationship with a sub-central government authority. The scope includes not only relocations but also comprehensive site services setup, making it suitable for businesses adept in multi-disciplinary construction services. As the framework agreement allows access by other public bodies within Cambridgeshire, the awarded company may benefit from widespread exposure and potential future opportunities across the county. Firms with expertise in modular building logistics, site services, and a strong track record in delivering quality under open procedures would be particularly well-suited to compete.

Notice Information

Notice Title

25038 Relocation of Temporary Buildings (Including Associated Site Works and Services Installations)

Notice Description

Cambridgeshire County Council is seeking to enter a Term Contract arrangement with one suitable organisation for the movement of temporary/portable buildings already owned by the Council, including providing temporary storage facilities where a direct transfer of a modular building between sites is not practicable. Movements of temporary buildings may include relocation from site to site, relocation on the same site or removal from site for disposal. In addition to the movement of modular buildings from site to site, the Term Contract will incorporate most of the associated works necessary to effect complete installation and making ready for occupation of the buildings. These activities will include carrying out necessary enabling works to allow access, associated groundworks, and installing services and utilities as appropriate (water, gas, electricity, fire alarm and drainage, including installing ducts for future Client use, etc.) as well as any surveys required and the removal and/or reinstatement of any temporary structures/works necessary to access the works (such as fencing, gates, planting etc). It is further required that the contract holder will carry out repairs to existing mobile buildings and their service installations for the duration of the contract. Therefore, this contract will also be used when providing a cost for such repairs, either using the scheduled rates, where applicable, or on a parts and labour (quotation) basis under the provisions of this contract.
