Summary of the contracting process

West Berkshire Council is procuring building refurbishment works at Chestnut Walk in Hungerford. The project will convert an existing derelict old persons’ home into a house of multiple occupancy providing short-term emergency accommodation for homeless people. The scope includes removing carbon-based fuel sources and installing air source heat pumps and a photovoltaic array, alongside associated external works and renewal of incoming mains services. This is a construction and building refurbishment project, including overhaul of a run-down building. The work is for West Berkshire Council and will be delivered at the Chestnut Walk property in Hungerford, West Berkshire. It is therefore relevant to contractors able to manage a comprehensive refurbishment and adaptation project rather than a standalone installation package.

The procurement has reached tender: West Berkshire Council invited offers through an open competition below the applicable threshold. Enquiries had to be submitted by 30 September 2026 at 3:00 pm, and tenders by 19 October 2026 at 3:00 pm. The contract period is from 18 December 2026 to 18 June 2027. The overall estimated value is £1,500,000 excluding VAT and £1,800,000 including VAT. The single lot is recorded with a value of AED 1,500,000, while the overall tender value is stated in GBP. Evaluation is weighted 60% cost, 30% technical or quality and 10% social value. Tenders are submitted electronically through the council’s In-tend procurement portal.

This opportunity suits a main building contractor or refurbishment specialist able to coordinate a substantial residential conversion from initial works through completion. Relevant capability includes surveying and refurbishing derelict or run-down buildings, adapting premises for multiple occupancy, managing external works and renewing incoming mains services. The project also calls for the removal of existing carbon-based heating or fuel systems and installation of air source heat pumps and photovoltaic equipment, so firms with suitably qualified mechanical, electrical and renewable-energy delivery teams are well placed. Suppliers should be able to manage several trades, coordinate works on an occupied-community or public-sector programme where required, demonstrate reliable construction quality and delivery control, and address social-value commitments alongside technical performance and cost.
