Summary of the contracting process

Somerset Council has recently concluded a procurement process for the expansion of Curry Mallet Nursery, situated in Taunton, within the UKK23 region, United Kingdom. The procurement falls under the works category, specifically building construction work, and was executed using a direct method below the threshold, involving no competition. The process has reached the award stage, with the contract awarded to QUBE CONSTRUCT LTD, effective from 30 March 2026 through to 30 September 2026. Valued at £100,000 (excluding VAT), the contract aligns with UK legal standards under the UKPGA 2023/54 legislation.

This tender presents numerous opportunities for businesses engaged in building construction, particularly those interested in government contracts for local infrastructure projects. Given its focus on nursery expansion, businesses specialised in educational facilities or public sector works are ideally positioned to compete in similar future tenders. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in construction and a base in Somerset or the surrounding areas might find this type of procurement advantageous for scaling operations and securing public sector contracts, given the direct procurement approach that avoids extensive competition. The engagement with Somerset Council also offers ongoing partnership prospects for businesses with a strong local presence and credentials in delivering quality construction services.
