UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Central Bedfordshire Council commissioned refurbishment of the main kitchen at Maythorn. The work is a building refurbishment project involving fitted kitchen installation. The council is the buyer, and the named site is Maythorn; the procurement data does not identify a town or address for the site. This is a single, completed works requirement rather than a supply-only purchase. The description does not set out kitchen quantities, design specifications or the extent of associated building work, so the clearly supported scope is the Maythorn main kitchen refurbishment itself.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to G&S Hutchinson Ltd. The contract was signed on 21 October 2026 and runs from 2 November 2026 to 25 January 2027. Its stated value is £59,048.74 including any applicable taxes. There was one lot. The council used a below-threshold limited competition procedure. No award date or evaluation criteria are reported, so the award basis cannot be characterised beyond the stated procedure. This records an awarded contract, not an opportunity to bid on the work.

For a supplier considering comparable future work for Central Bedfordshire Council, this award demonstrates demand for a discrete, small-scale kitchen refurbishment combining fitted kitchen installation with construction work. A credible competitor would need to show it can manage a complete refurbishment at a public-sector site, coordinate installation and building tasks, and deliver within a short, defined contract period. The selected supplier was G&S Hutchinson Ltd, a large business, indicating that the work was awarded to a supplier with the capacity to take on the requirement; the available details do not identify specific qualifications, accreditations or technical standards. The council used limited competition for this below-threshold purchase, so experience of responding to that route would be relevant when a similar requirement is considered.
