## Summary

The public procurement process led by the Ministry of Justice for the refurbishment of the ground floor at the HMCTS Reading Crown Court in the South East of the United Kingdom has reached the award stage. This contract, valued at £4,589,576 GBP, falls under the industry category of court building construction work, with the CPV code 45216112. The procurement utilised a selective method through a call-off from a framework agreement. The project involves the complete design and construction to provide multiple court hearing rooms, judicial chambers, and administrative spaces. The contract commenced on 11 April 2025 and is scheduled to conclude by 10 August 2026.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for large construction companies experienced in court building projects. SMEs are also encouraged, though VCSEs are less suited for this particular contract. As it is a critical infrastructure project for the judicial system in the UK, businesses competitive in sophisticated construction projects and who can manage complex logistical requirements over an extended period will benefit from engaging in such contracts. The awarded supplier in this instance, W.W. Beard Limited, demonstrates the calibre and scale of the successful contractor for this work.
