UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council procured construction of a rain garden at Little Blakenham Village Hall in Suffolk. The works cover landscaping, storm-water piping and drainage construction, with the purpose of managing rainwater at the village hall. This is a small civil engineering and sustainable drainage project, rather than a supply-only contract or a general facilities service. The council is the buying organisation and the work is located at Little Blakenham. The requirement was structured as one package covering the complete rain garden scheme. Businesses with experience delivering rain gardens, surface-water drainage, storm-water pipework, landscaping and associated construction works would recognise the scope. The project combines practical groundworks with water-management infrastructure in a community building setting.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Two bids were received for the single package. Suffolk County Council awarded the contract to Mixbrow Construction on 1 June 2026. The awarded and contracted value is £30,859.20 gross. The award period was scheduled to run from 11 June 2026 to 31 December 2026. The contract was signed on 10 August 2026 and its recorded active period runs from 10 August 2026 to 31 December 2026. The evaluation basis and detailed eligibility requirements are contained in the procurement arrangements, while the published process identifies the method as a limited competition below the relevant threshold. The award is active and the contract remains the recorded outcome of this procurement.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Suffolk County Council for compact, place-based sustainable drainage and landscaping works delivered as a single construction package. A credible future competitor would need to combine site-based civil engineering with rainwater-management expertise, including drainage installation, storm-water pipework, excavation, ground preparation, landscaping and finishing works. The requirement suits a construction SME able to coordinate the different elements directly and deliver safely at a public community facility. Relevant evidence would include completed rain garden, SuDS, drainage or comparable water-management projects; competent site supervision; reliable subcontractor or supply-chain control where specialist work is needed; and the capacity to manage a complete small works package rather than only one trade. Understanding local site constraints and maintaining quality through construction would also be important.
