Summary of the contracting process

Central Bedfordshire Council procured construction works to install aids and adaptations at four dwellings. The requirement is residential building work, including construction associated with houses, individual or multi-dwelling homes and subsidised residential accommodation. The work is for properties in the United Kingdom, with the council acting as the public-sector buyer. The scope is a single package covering all four dwellings rather than separate described services. It is relevant to contractors experienced in delivering housing alterations and associated construction works, particularly where adaptations must be incorporated into occupied or purpose-designed residential settings. The procurement concerns physical works rather than consultancy, supplies or routine property maintenance, and is aimed at a supplier able to coordinate and complete a multi-dwelling residential adaptation programme for the council.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Modplan. It used a below-threshold open competition. Five bids were received, all five reached the final stage and all five were from SMEs. The tender closing deadline was 3 March 2026 at 12:00, with enquiries closing on 24 February 2026 at 12:00. The award was made on 4 May 2026 for £367,832.35 excluding VAT, or £441,398.82 including VAT. The award period was 1 June to 10 July 2026. The contract was signed on 1 June 2026, is active, and is valued at £369,292.35 excluding VAT, or £443,150.82 including VAT. Its recorded period is 22 June 2026 to 29 January 2027. Evaluation weighted quality at 50%, cost at 40% and social value at 10%.

This award demonstrates Central Bedfordshire Council’s demand for a substantial, single-package residential adaptations programme covering four homes. A credible competitor for similar work would need strong residential construction capability, experience delivering housing adaptations and the capacity to manage several dwellings as one coordinated project. The evaluation places greater emphasis on quality than cost, while social value is also material, so suppliers would need to evidence reliable workmanship, project management, resident-focused delivery and meaningful community benefits alongside competitive pricing. The participation of five bidders, all SMEs at the final stage, indicates that the requirement can be contested by established smaller contractors as well as larger building firms. Relevant capability is more important here than supplying goods or providing standalone advisory services.
