UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Central Bedfordshire Council procured enabling and initial construction works for the approved development of 18 affordable homes at Mancroft Road. The work covers clearing the site, pre-construction health and safety activities, and limited construction needed to start the development. This is a focused site-preparation and early-works package, rather than the full construction of the homes. The council is the buyer, and the works support its future affordable housing development.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Central Bedfordshire Council selected Jeakins Weir Ltd. through a below-threshold direct award without competition. The contract was signed on 1 October 2026 and runs from 5 October to 27 November 2026. Its value is £64,470.68 excluding VAT (£77,364.82 including VAT). The procurement was divided into one lot. The award covers site preparation works. No separate award date or evaluation basis is recorded in the process details.

For suppliers considering similar Central Bedfordshire Council requirements, this contract shows demand for compact enabling-works packages supporting affordable housing development. A credible competitor would need to organise site clearance, manage pre-construction health and safety, and carry out limited construction work that allows an approved housing scheme to proceed. The scope favours firms able to coordinate these early activities as a coherent package and work effectively within a short delivery programme. The council used a direct award without competition for this below-threshold requirement, so this outcome also indicates the route used for this particular purchase. Jeakins Weir Ltd., a large supplier, was selected.
