UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, facilitated by Denbighshire County Council, involves the St Asaph Grow-On Innovation Facility (Phase 1) project. The contracting authority, operating within the UKL13 region (Wales), has completed the award stage, marking a significant milestone in this sub-central government initiative. The tender focused on developing approximately 1,000 square metres of flexible innovation space at the St Asaph Business Park, designed to nurture SMEs and attract R&D investments. The contract was directly awarded below the threshold without competition, under the UKPGA 2023/54 legal standard. The project commenced on 15th June 2026, with completion expected by 21st September 2026, and potential extension until 31st October 2026.

This tender represents a notable opportunity for businesses specialising in high-value business services, particularly those in law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security sectors. By participating, businesses can contribute to the vibrant innovation landscape in Wales, capitalising on opportunities to work closely with other growing SMEs. The project aligns with strategic objectives to retain and attract innovative companies, making it ideal for SMEs aiming to scale or establish a regional presence. Given the focus on SMEs, companies of a smaller scale, such as SQW, which have been awarded the contract, show that there is potential for similar entities to engage successfully in future phases or similar projects.
