Summary of the contracting process

Central Bedfordshire Council procured building works for a new single-storey rear extension to an existing house. The project provides a new bathroom and bedroom and includes internal alterations to the existing building. The scope also covers extending existing electrical and mechanical services and completing external groundworks. This is a housing construction and bathroom construction requirement, delivered at the property concerned within Central Bedfordshire. It is classified as works rather than goods or general services. The requirement would suit a building contractor able to manage a domestic extension from structural and external works through to internal finishing and coordinated building services. The council is the public-sector buyer and the procurement covered one combined package of works.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open, below-threshold competition. The tender submission deadline was 1 June 2026 at 23:58. The award was made on 17 September 2026 to Poplars Construction Ltd, an SME, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract period runs from 21 September 2026 to 18 December 2026. The awarded contract value is £116,832.61 excluding VAT and £140,187 gross. There was one lot. Evaluation weighted quality at 60%, price at 30% and social value at 10%. Electronic submission was allowed. The tender was below the applicable threshold and the recorded tender value was £0, while the signed contract records the awarded values above.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Central Bedfordshire Council for small-scale residential construction delivered as a complete package rather than as a single trade. A credible future competitor would need experience of single-storey house extensions, internal remodelling and bathroom installation, together with the capacity to coordinate electrical and mechanical service extensions and external groundworks. The evaluation placed greater emphasis on quality than price, so suppliers would need to show a sound delivery method, workmanship controls and reliable programme management, alongside a competitive commercial offer. Social value formed part of the assessment, making it relevant to contractors able to present practical local or community benefits. The selected supplier’s SME status also indicates that this scale of council building work can be delivered by an established smaller contractor.
