UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Reserve Force & Cadet Associations of East Anglia is procuring construction and refurbishment works for the existing Joint Cadet Centre in Hatfield. The project covers internal remodelling, including partial demolition of partition walls to create new floor layouts. It also includes upgrades to mechanical, electrical and plumbing services, fire-safety improvements, and refurbishment of the existing ablution and kitchen facilities. The works include general compliance with Part M accessibility requirements, including a new external access ramp. The buying organisation is a public authority responsible for reserve forces and cadet facilities in East Anglia. This is a single construction project involving coordinated building, building-services, fire-safety and accessibility works at the Hatfield centre.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Offers and enquiries were due by 18 September 2026 at 12:00 noon. Electronic submission was allowed. The contract period was set to run from 1 November 2026 to 31 March 2027. The estimated gross value is £250,000. There is one lot. Evaluation is based on quality, weighted at 60%, and cost, weighted at 40%. The opportunity is classified as construction work and is below the applicable threshold. The tender was issued under the Procurement Act 2023. Businesses should allow for both the submission deadline and the requirement to deliver the refurbishment within the stated five-month contract period.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized construction businesses with experience in occupied or existing-building refurbishment and the ability to coordinate several trades. Relevant capability includes controlled internal demolition and remodelling, mechanical, electrical and plumbing services, fire-safety upgrades, kitchen and ablution refurbishment, and accessibility works. Contractors should be able to deliver a new external ramp and address Part M compliance across the centre. The requirement favours businesses able to manage a complete refurbishment package rather than a single isolated trade, with sufficient site-management and delivery capacity for works scheduled between November 2026 and March 2027. A strong quality submission matters commercially because quality carries more weight than cost in the evaluation.
