UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Boston Borough Council is undertaking a public procurement process titled "Boston Depot Vehicle Wash Facilities," located in an established industrial estate within Boston, United Kingdom. This tender falls under the industry category of "Works," specifically focusing on engineering, construction, and installation services. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with a submission deadline set for 19th June 2026. The opportunity involves managing and constructing an on-site vehicle wash facility at the St John's Road Depot. The contract will be awarded primarily as a single package, however, a potential split into two separate contracts exists, depending on value for money assessment. The procurement method being employed is an open competition below the usual threshold amount, with an estimated contract value of £140,000.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in engineering works, construction, and equipment installation to expand their market presence in the public sector. Firms that can deliver on quality and pricing, in line with award criteria favouring 65% on price, 30% on quality, and 5% on social value, are particularly well-suited to compete. The procurement process invites open competition, allowing small to medium enterprises to showcase their expertise and potentially secure a foothold within the public works sector. Interested businesses are required to register on the Council's e-Tendering portal to access tender documents and submit proposals efficiently.
