Summary of the contracting process

West Suffolk Council commissioned refurbishment works at 19 Hollands Road. The project involves partial demolition of existing internal rooms and construction of new internal spaces to create accommodation, together with associated alterations and external works. The scope includes changes to doors and windows, minor roof repairs and other external works. This is a construction project, covering both building alterations and refurbishment activity. Delivery is in Suffolk, with participation reserved for organisations located in Suffolk. The council is the public-sector buyer, and the requirement was structured as a single works lot. Businesses suited to the opportunity would typically undertake building refurbishment, internal remodelling, repair and associated external construction works for public-sector clients.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. The tender deadline was 10 April 2026 at 12:00, with enquiries closing on 31 March 2026 at 17:00. The estimated tender value was £130,000 net, or £156,000 gross. Fifteen bids were received, all from SMEs. Evaluation used eligibility on a pass/fail basis, then technical competence weighted at 20%, sustainability at 10%, social value at 5% and price at 65%. S R Calver LTD was awarded the work on 3 June 2026 for £179,350.89 gross. The contract was signed on 22 June 2026 and runs from 22 June to 12 October 2026, with a contract value of £179,350.89 net and £215,221.89 gross.

This award indicates demand from West Suffolk Council for relatively focused refurbishment and construction projects involving internal reconfiguration, accommodation creation, building fabric repairs and external works. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable technical competence in delivering comparable building projects, including partial demolition, internal construction, door and window alterations, roof repairs and associated external works. The evaluation shows that price is important, but technical competence, sustainability and social value together account for a substantial part of the assessment, so suppliers would need evidence and delivery plans across each of these areas rather than competing on cost alone. The opportunity attracted fifteen SME bids, indicating that suitably capable smaller construction firms can compete. Suffolk-based organisations are particularly relevant because participation was reserved geographically.
