Summary of the contracting process

Braintree District Council, a public authority in the sub-central government category, has recently completed a procurement process for the project titled "Enterprise House - Feasibility for Refurbishment to Business Centre Project." The procurement was conducted using a limited method, below the threshold with restricted competition. The contract for architectural and related services, classified under CPV code 71200000, was awarded on 12th June 2026 to DUNCAN CLARK & BECKETT LTD. The contract period commenced on 8th June 2026 and will conclude on 10th August 2026, encompassing the delivery across multiple regions in the United Kingdom including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK.

The awarded contract, valued at GBP 27,720 (excluding VAT), showcases the potential for SMEs, like DUNCAN CLARK & BECKETT LTD, to secure government contracts and demonstrates the attractiveness of public procurement processes for similar small and medium enterprises looking to establish or expand their services within the UK public sector market.
