Summary of the contracting process

Milton Keynes City Council procured refurbishment works for two Council-owned properties intended for residential children’s home use: 8 Barbara Mews in Neath Hill and 68/69 Quantock Crescent in Emerson Valley, Milton Keynes. The requirement covered refurbishment and installation works at both properties, with completion planned as a single works contract. The main category is building works, specifically refurbishment work (CPV 45453100). The buying organisation is Milton Keynes City Council, a local public authority. Delivery is within Milton Keynes, at the two named residential properties. The selected supplier was Poplars Construction Ltd, an SME based in Hitchin. The requirement is therefore relevant to building and refurbishment contractors able to undertake work across multiple Council-owned residential properties in Milton Keynes, particularly where delivery must support children’s home accommodation.

The procurement is complete and was run as a below-threshold open competition. The enquiry deadline was 18 May 2026 at 23:59, and tenders were due by 29 May 2026 at 12:00. The estimated value was £300,000 excluding VAT, or £360,000 including VAT. One lot was awarded to Poplars Construction Ltd, with the award evaluated using the most advantageous tender: 60% price and 40% quality. The contract was signed on 31 August 2026 and has a contract value of £287,905.34 excluding VAT, or £345,486.40 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 September to 27 October 2026. The tender description also stated an eight-week installation and completion term, while the signed contract records the period above. Electronic submission was allowed.

This procurement demonstrates a Council requirement for a refurbishment contractor capable of working on two residential properties at the same time or across a coordinated programme, with installation and completion delivered within a short defined period. A credible future competitor would need practical experience in building refurbishment and the ability to manage works in occupied or operationally sensitive residential settings, although the published requirement does not identify particular accreditations or technical qualifications. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that the work was deliverable by a suitably capable smaller contractor rather than only a national main contractor. Relevant businesses should be able to provide reliable site management, coordinate activity across separate Milton Keynes locations, control quality, and compete strongly on price while demonstrating a clear method for completing refurbishment works to the Council’s required standard.
