UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire County Council procured construction of a new agricultural cattle shed at Brand End Farm, Timms Drove, Swineshead, near Boston. The building is specified as 24 by 12 metres and forms part of the council’s programme to improve its county farm holdings. The requirement is agricultural building construction work (CPV 45213240). The site is in Lincolnshire, at postcode PE20 3PQ. This is a single construction project focused on delivering the new cattle shed; the procurement description does not set out additional facilities or associated services.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Timmins Engineering and Construction Limited. The award date was 2 October 2026. The awarded value is £124,955.49 excluding VAT (£149,946.59 including VAT). The contract period runs from 30 November 2026 to 22 February 2027. The council used a below-threshold limited competition, with one lot. Three bids were received and two reached the final stage; both final-stage bids were from SMEs. The published outcome identifies an active award. No evaluation criteria are stated in the procurement information.

This award demonstrates Lincolnshire County Council’s demand for agricultural building construction to improve its farm holdings. Suppliers positioning for a similar requirement should be able to deliver a new-build cattle shed to a defined footprint and work at a rural farm site in Lincolnshire. The successful contractor was an SME, and both bids reaching the final stage came from SMEs, showing that smaller construction businesses were represented in the competition. Relevant capability is agricultural or comparable building construction; the stated scope does not establish further specialist requirements, accreditations or experience thresholds. The buying route was a limited competition for a below-threshold works contract, so a credible competitor would need to be prepared to take part in that kind of competitive process.
