UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Ipswich Borough Council is procuring works to replace a retaining wall at Cambridge Drive. The requirement covers construction and engineering work, including supporting-wall construction, masonry and bricklaying. It is a single construction requirement, with delivery in the United Kingdom. Participation is reserved to organisations located in Suffolk. The council is the public-sector buyer for the works. The scope is therefore suited to contractors able to undertake retaining-wall replacement and associated building, engineering, masonry and bricklaying activities. Businesses should review the tender documents for the detailed design, technical specification, site requirements and construction obligations before deciding whether the project matches their capabilities and operating area.

The procurement has reached tender: Ipswich Borough Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Electronic submission is allowed. The structured tender sets the clarification-question deadline at 11am on 10 October 2026 and the tender submission deadline at 11am on 23 October 2026. The estimated value is £332,100 excluding VAT and £398,520 including VAT. The contract period is from 10 November 2026 to 10 June 2027, with a maximum extent to 10 October 2027. The contract includes a 12-month defects period and may be renewed on that basis. Award will be based on 60% price and 40% quality.

This opportunity suits construction contractors with practical experience of replacing retaining walls and delivering associated civil engineering and building works. Relevant capabilities include masonry and bricklaying, supporting-wall construction, site preparation, construction sequencing, quality control and safe delivery of structural works. Contractors should be able to manage the works from commencement through completion and provide the resources needed for a project running over several months, including suitably skilled site personnel, plant, materials and supervision. Firms based in, or operating from, Suffolk are particularly relevant because participation is reserved to organisations located there. The quality assessment means bidders will need to demonstrate how they will deliver the works, not only offer a competitive price.
