UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Central Bedfordshire Council commissioned site preparation and enabling works at Mancroft Road to support development of 18 affordable homes. The work covers initial site preparation, clearance and associated activities needed to start the development under existing planning approval. It is a limited package intended to enable the housing project to proceed and protect the planning permission; the main construction work is being procured separately. The work is in the construction category, specifically site preparation. The location named for the works is Mancroft Road; no town or wider delivery location is identified in the procurement details.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Jeakins Weir Ltd. The council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, 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, or £77,364.82 including VAT. The procurement was organised as a single lot, covering the enabling works package. The outcome records an active award and contract. The main construction works for the 18 homes are separate and are not part of this contract.

For contractors seeking comparable work from Central Bedfordshire Council, this award demonstrates demand for a tightly scoped enabling package ahead of a separate housing construction procurement. Credible suppliers would need to deliver site preparation, clearance and associated enabling activities that allow development to begin under an existing planning approval, while working within a short, defined programme. The contract was awarded directly without competition, so the selected supplier met the council’s requirement through that route rather than a competitive tender. Relevant experience would include preparing sites for residential development and coordinating enabling work so that the main construction phase can follow. The requirement is distinct from building the homes themselves; general housebuilding capability alone would not describe the specific package awarded.
