Summary of the contracting process

West Suffolk Council procured major renewal works at West Suffolk House in Bury St Edmunds. The project replaces life-expired building services and plant: hot and cold water supply, mechanical ventilation, heating and cooling, building monitoring and management systems, ground-source heat pumps, and sanitaryware. This is a building engineering and mechanical and electrical refurbishment project, including heating plant construction (CPV 45251200). The scope combines replacement of key systems with renewal of the equipment and controls used to manage the building. Delivery is at West Suffolk House; the council is the buyer.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to DPL Group Limited. The award date was 16 September 2026, and the contract was signed that day. Its period runs from 16 September 2026 to 27 August 2027. The contract value is £2,780,861.75 excluding VAT, or £3,337,034.10 including VAT. It was a single-lot works contract awarded directly, below the relevant threshold and without competition. The published procurement information records no award evaluation criteria. The contract is active.

For suppliers assessing comparable future requirements from West Suffolk Council, this award demonstrates demand for a substantial, integrated building-services renewal rather than a single equipment supply. A credible competitor would need the capability to coordinate mechanical and electrical works across water systems, ventilation, heating and cooling, building controls, heat pumps and sanitaryware, with the capacity to deliver at West Suffolk House. The selected supplier was DPL Group Limited, an SME, showing that a business of that scale secured this requirement. The council used a direct award without competition, so this outcome also shows that the route used for this purchase did not provide an open competitive opportunity. Relevant experience would include renewing operational building plant and coordinating multiple systems within one project.
