UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Suffolk Council procured works to strip out and internally demolish the existing building at 33–35 High Street, including asbestos removal, so it could be converted into a retail unit. The requirement covers demolition and site clearance inside the building, with asbestos removal forming part of the work. The buyer is West Suffolk Council, based in Bury St Edmunds. The named site is 33–35 High Street; the town or city for the site is not stated in the procurement details. This is a building demolition and asbestos-removal requirement, rather than a general retail fit-out contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Sewells Reservoir Construction Limited. The award date was 13 October 2026, and the contract period runs from 26 October to 21 December 2026. The award value is £89,436 excluding VAT (£107,323.20 including VAT). The council used a below-threshold limited competition. There was one lot, and two bids were received; both reached the final stage and both were from small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is recorded as active. The data gives no named evaluation criteria or scoring basis. A future signature date was scheduled for 23 October 2026.

For a supplier considering similar work for West Suffolk Council in future, this award demonstrates demand for internal strip-out and demolition that includes asbestos removal, to prepare an existing building for retail use. A credible competitor would need to show that it can manage the combined demolition and asbestos-removal scope safely and deliver the work within a defined, relatively short project programme. The selected supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, and both final-stage bidders were SMEs, indicating that businesses of this scale competed successfully for this requirement. The procurement used limited competition below the applicable threshold, so experience of competing through a restricted invitation process may also be relevant. The requirement is specific to internal building works and asbestos removal, rather than a wider construction or retail fit-out package.
