UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Kesteven District Council commissioned a pre-construction agreement for the Hoplands project, covering building construction work. The agreement concerns preparatory work ahead of the wider project rather than a described package of construction delivery. Lincolnshire County Council provided procurement support and advice, while North Kesteven District Council is the buyer. The awarded work is associated with Lincolnshire, in the East Midlands. The published scope identifies the project and the pre-construction agreement, but does not describe specific design, surveying, planning or other pre-construction tasks, so suppliers should not assume those services are included. The procurement was arranged as a single lot, with the award classified as works.

The procurement is complete and awarded. North Kesteven District Council used a below-threshold limited competition. Lindum Group Limited was selected for the single lot, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 30 June 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 1 April 2027. Its stated value is £353,415 excluding VAT and £424,098 including VAT. The award is recorded under building construction work, but the procurement information gives no further evaluation criteria or scoring basis. The process description identifies a pre-construction agreement for the Hoplands project; it does not set out a detailed task schedule or specific deliverables. The contract period and award value relate to the selected supplier and are not divided among multiple lots or suppliers.

For firms tracking repeat work from North Kesteven District Council, this award shows demand for a pre-construction agreement connected to a building project, procured through limited competition below the relevant threshold. Lindum Group Limited, a large supplier, won. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to demonstrate the capacity and experience to support a building project before construction, and to work effectively with the council and its project team. The published scope does not identify particular technical disciplines, professional accreditations, staffing levels or required past-project credentials, so it does not establish which specialist services were decisive. The single-lot approach suggests the requirement was packaged as one agreement rather than divided into separately awarded workstreams; suppliers should be prepared to deliver the defined pre-construction scope as a coherent package.
