Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "HQ U Block Shuttering Works" was conducted by The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Essex. This tender, classified under the "works" category, was aimed at providing labour and materials necessary for shuttering works at the HQ U Block. Located in Witham, United Kingdom, the project was in the award stage with the contract being awarded to J W Steele & Sons Ltd, a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in Chelmsford. The procurement method utilised was a limited competition due to being below the threshold, with the contract starting on 15th August 2026 and ending on 16th September 2026. Key dates include the contract being signed on 18th May 2026 and published on 1st June 2026.

This tender presents business growth opportunities for companies specialising in installation of shutters and related construction services.
