Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Thetford Campus Project - Cost & Project Management Services" was led by Breckland District Council, a public authority in Dereham, UK. Initiated as a tender, the contracting process is now at the 'award' stage, with Richard Utting Associates LLP selected as the supplier. The contract for this service, which falls under the industry category of services—specifically cost calculation and project management, was signed on 9th July 2026. The project will be carried out in the UKH17 region with a total contract value of £4,750 (gross £5,700), to be executed by the end of 2026, with potential renewal to complete RIBA Stages 0-2.

This tender creates growth opportunities for businesses, especially those in project management and cost consulting, to engage with sub-central government projects. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) equipped to deliver quantity surveying or cost monitoring services are particularly well-suited to benefit from such contracts. The limited competition procurement method reflects a targeted opportunity for businesses to gain a foothold in public infrastructure projects, enhancing their portfolio through government collaborations.
