## Summary

The Northampton Borough Council is seeking bids for the "Vulcan Works" project, which involves converting a Victorian warehouse into approximately 5,500 square metres of startup office space, alongside a new annex and a small café. This procurement falls under the construction industry, specifically focusing on urban development and refurbishment, and is located in Northampton, West Midlands, England. The procurement method used is an open procedure, and although the tender period has ended on 12th July 2018, the contract is currently in the award stage, with an expected completion date of 24th September 2020. The total value of the contract is approximately £11,300,000, with an awarded amount of about £10,852,801.36.

This contract represents a significant growth opportunity for businesses in the construction and creative industries, especially those specialising in urban development, office renovations, and building extensions. The successful supplier, Stepnell Ltd, started the contract in March 2019, indicating potential for collaboration or subcontracting opportunities. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with capabilities in construction and refurbishment work are particularly well-suited to compete for similar future contracts, benefiting from the city's revitalisation efforts and the broader trend of developing creative industry spaces.

## Notice
