UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

East Suffolk Council commissioned building alteration works to install lintels above windows at 18 occupied residential properties on Queens Road, Bungay. The properties comprise four houses and 14 flats arranged across four blocks. Installation must follow a specification prepared by a structural engineer. This is a construction and building alteration requirement, covering work to existing residential buildings rather than new-build construction. The work is carried out for East Suffolk Council at the occupied properties in Bungay, so suppliers need to plan work around residents and multiple property types. The requirement concerns one defined project and one location, with the practical scope centred on lintel installation above windows across the identified houses and flats.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It comprised one lot and received two bids, both from SMEs. The contract was awarded to A J Builders Suffolk Ltd on 26 August 2026 for £160,668 gross. The contract period runs from 8 September 2026 to 8 December 2026, with signature scheduled by 7 September 2026. The award is active and the tender status is complete. The procurement is classified as works and was evaluated through the limited competition route. The available outcome identifies one successful supplier for the whole requirement; no separate lot awards or alternative award values are recorded.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for remedial building work across occupied houses and flats in East Suffolk. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need practical experience installing window lintels in existing residential properties, including flats arranged in blocks, and the ability to work safely and considerately around residents. Technical capability must include interpreting and delivering work to a structural engineer’s specification, coordinating access across multiple homes, and managing building alteration activities from start to finish. The result also shows that an SME-sized building contractor can compete successfully for this buyer’s requirement through a limited competition route. Relevant local delivery capacity would support responsiveness and efficient site coordination.
