Summary of the contracting process

Central Bedfordshire Council procured general building works for its capital programme. The requirement covers project management and delivery of capital works, including replacement of mechanical, electrical and building-fabric assets, general building refurbishment, adaptations, larger-scale improvement works and condition surveys. The work also includes building construction and alteration, completion works, electrical installation, plumbing and sanitary works, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning installation, thermal insulation and fire-alarm system installation. This is a construction works opportunity delivered in Central Bedfordshire, serving the Council’s buildings and assets. It is suited to a principal contractor able to manage varied capital projects and coordinate several building and building-services disciplines under one requirement.

The procurement was completed through a single-lot open procedure. The contract was awarded to Spacemaker Developments Ltd on 3 August 2026, following 10 valid final-stage bids. The award value is £10,000,000 excluding VAT and £12,000,000 including VAT. The award includes a voluntary standstill period ending on 4 September 2026, with a scheduled signature date of 14 September 2026. The contract period is 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. Evaluation was based on 40% price, 50% quality and 10% social value.

This award demonstrates demand from Central Bedfordshire Council for a broad, managed capital-works capability rather than a single specialist trade. Suppliers seeking to compete when the requirement returns would need credible experience in project management, building refurbishment, adaptations, asset replacement, improvement works and condition surveys. They would also need to coordinate mechanical, electrical, fabric, heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, plumbing, insulation and fire-alarm activities, either through their own teams or an established supply chain. The ten valid bids show competition from large construction and building-services businesses. A well-placed competitor would therefore be able to demonstrate dependable delivery across varied sites, strong quality management, effective social-value delivery and the capacity to manage substantial, multi-disciplinary programmes for a council.
