Summary of the contracting process

Bassetlaw District Council is procuring construction works to convert the disused Northumberland Avenue Community Centre in Costhorpe into an adapted, accessible three-bedroom bungalow. The requirement covers the building conversion and associated construction work, classified under CPV 45000000. The work is for the council’s property and community requirements in Costhorpe, within the Bassetlaw area. Welland Procurement managed the procurement on the council’s behalf. This is a building refurbishment and conversion opportunity rather than a new-build housing development or general facilities-management service. It is relevant to building contractors with experience of adapting existing community or public buildings into accessible residential accommodation, including firms able to manage the construction delivery required for a complete property conversion.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold open competition. Seven bids were received, with five reaching the final stage, including two from SMEs. One lot was awarded to VAUGHANDALE CONSTRUCTION LIMITED for £331,000 gross. The award was made on 27 August 2026. The awarded contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 January 2027. The original estimated value was £275,000 excluding VAT (£330,000 gross), and the tender submission deadline was 31 July 2026 at 12:00. Bids were evaluated on quality weighted at 70% and price at 30%. The contract was due to be signed on 1 October 2026. An amendment recorded a change in the budget cap.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Bassetlaw District Council for substantial conversion and adaptation works delivered through a straightforward open competition. A credible future competitor would need construction capability spanning the refurbishment of an existing public building and its conversion into accessible residential accommodation, with sufficient capacity to deliver a complete three-bedroom property within a short, defined delivery programme. The requirement also indicates that quality is more important than price in evaluation, so suppliers should be able to present strong technical proposals, clear delivery planning, robust quality controls and relevant evidence of completed adaptation or conversion projects. SMEs participated in the final stage, showing that the scale and procurement route can suit smaller construction businesses with the necessary skills, capacity and project-management capability.
