Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Central Bedfordshire Council procured demolition works at Westlands Residential Care Home. The requirement covered Phase 3 demolition and associated site-clearance works, classified as demolition work. The work is associated with Westlands in the Central Bedfordshire area. This is a construction works requirement rather than a supply or consultancy contract, and would suit contractors undertaking building demolition, enabling works and clearance of sites following demolition. The council is the buying organisation and the requirement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The procurement concerned a single phase of works, with the description focused on demolition and related site clearance at the residential care home.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. Expressions of interest were sought from suppliers on a framework because the suppliers approached were unable to provide the requirement; one bid was recorded, from an SME. The contract was awarded to GB Construction and is active. The contract value is £421,233.79 excluding any separately stated tax treatment, in GBP. The contract was signed on 18 September 2026. Price was the stated award criterion. The procurement record relates to Phase 3 demolition and associated site clearance, and the related lot is recorded as cancelled even though an active award and contract are published.

This outcome indicates demand from Central Bedfordshire Council for a contractor able to deliver a defined demolition and site-clearance package at a residential care home, with price as the stated basis for selection. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need practical demolition capability, experience of controlled works on or around care and residential premises, and the capacity to manage associated clearance safely and efficiently. The appointed supplier was recorded as an SME, showing that the requirement was deliverable by a smaller construction business rather than only a major national contractor. Firms with directly relevant demolition and clearance experience, reliable site delivery capacity and competitive pricing would be the closest commercial match.
