Summary of the contracting process

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is conducting a public procurement tender for the "Cold Room Project C451322", as part of a building construction work initiative. The project involves dismantling an existing cold room, removing and replacing its concrete base, and reconstructing it in the current location. The procurement process is at the tender stage, inviting open competition below the threshold. With the main procurement category being works, this project is located within the UKH23 region of the United Kingdom. Interested parties must register through the Atamis e-sourcing portal by 7th August 2026, with queries and portal support available until 29th July 2026. The project’s contractual period is slated to run from 31st August 2026 to 31st August 2027.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in construction and building infrastructure. Small to mid-sized enterprises involved in civil engineering and foundation works stand to benefit greatly from participating in this competitive bidding process. The contract, valued at an estimated gross amount of £720,000, is particularly suitable for firms capable of offering a balanced approach, prioritising both technical quality and cost efficiency, as reflected in the award criteria which allocate a 70% weighting to technical aspects and 30% to commercial aspects. Engaging in this project may not only enhance the participating business's portfolio but also establish a foothold in future government contracts with central public authorities like the MHRA.
