Summary of the contracting process

Haddenham Parish Council procured the construction of a single-storey pavilion building known as Aston Road Pavilion. This is a works contract for construction activity, managed for the council by Porter Consulting and Management Services Limited as consultant and procuring entity. The project is associated with Aston Road Pavilion and the council is based in Haddenham, Buckinghamshire. The requirement was organised as one lot and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The successful supplier, Life Build Solutions Ltd, is a large construction business based in High Wycombe. The procurement therefore concerns building contractors able to deliver a complete pavilion construction project for a parish council, rather than a supply-only or professional-services requirement. The council's stated evaluation approach was to select the bid offering best value, subject to meeting pre-qualification requirements.

This procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. It used a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries closed on 11 March 2026 and tenders closed on 15 April 2026 at 13:00. Five bids reached the final stage, all from SMEs. Life Build Solutions Ltd was awarded the contract on 2 July 2026 for £1,675,310 gross, against an estimated lot value of £1,440,000 gross. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 28 September 2026 to 18 June 2027, with a maximum extension date of 18 July 2027. The award period was stated as 17 July 2026 to 27 April 2027, with a possible extension to 27 May 2027. Variations or renewals may address unforeseeable weather, delays or construction issues. Electronic submissions were not allowed.

For a future requirement of this type, credible competitors would need proven capability in building single-storey public or community facilities and sufficient capacity to manage construction through to completion. The winning outcome shows that the buyer accepted a substantial construction contractor with the ability to deliver a complete pavilion project, while all five final-stage bidders were SMEs, indicating that smaller firms can compete for the work. Suppliers should be able to satisfy the council's pre-qualification requirements, demonstrate sound construction delivery arrangements and present a bid that offers best value rather than relying on price alone. Relevant experience in managing programme risk, weather disruption and unforeseen construction issues would strengthen a bidder's position, as these matters are expressly recognised in the contract's variation and renewal provisions.
