Summary of the contracting process

Central Bedfordshire Council procured general building works for its capital programme. The requirement covers project management and delivery of asset replacement, including mechanical, electrical and building fabric works, alongside general building refurbishment, adaptations, larger improvement projects and condition surveys. It also includes building construction, alteration and completion, installation works, electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning, thermal insulation and fire-alarm installation. This is a works contract delivered within the council’s area in England. The scope suits contractors able to manage varied capital works from surveys and planned replacement through to refurbishment and larger improvement projects, with capability across multiple building trades and building services.

The procurement is complete and one supplier was selected: Spacemaker Developments Ltd. The award date was 3 August 2026 and the awarded value is £10,000,000 excluding VAT (£12,000,000 including VAT). The contract is for three years from 21 September 2026 to 20 September 2029, with an option for the council to extend it by up to two years, to 20 September 2031. It used an above-threshold open procedure with one lot. Evaluation weighted quality at 50%, price at 40% and social value at 10%. Ten valid final bids were recorded. The award remained subject to a standstill period ending 14 September 2026, with signature scheduled for 15 September 2026.

This award demonstrates substantial, varied demand from Central Bedfordshire Council for a single contractor capable of coordinating general building work, planned asset replacement, refurbishment, adaptations, improvement projects and condition surveys. A credible future competitor would need broad in-house or managed expertise across building fabric, electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, insulation and fire-alarm systems, alongside strong project-management and surveying capability. The competition attracted ten valid bids, all from large businesses, indicating that the requirement is suited to suppliers with significant delivery capacity and the ability to manage a diverse capital works programme. Social value formed part of the evaluation, so bidders would also need a clear approach to delivering measurable wider benefits.
