This contract follows a previous award to ARJ Construction Ltd in 2023, which was subsequently rendered inactive due to the company's administration. The procurement process has progressed to the Award stage with a contract value of £20,000,000 signed on 20th August 2024. The project falls under the Construction work category (CPV: 45000000) and is critical to maintaining funding continuity. The procurement method used was limited, specifically negotiated without the publication of a contract notice due to extreme urgency caused by unforeseeable events affecting the Council's funding stream. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the construction sector, particularly those experienced in mixed-use developments, to establish or strengthen their market presence. Companies with expertise in project continuity, especially when stepping in under urgent conditions, will find this tender particularly well-suited to their capabilities. Additionally, suppliers who can navigate and adapt to unforeseen project dynamics and maintain strict adherence to funding requirements will be in a favourable position to compete. ## Notice The Council previously awarded a contract for a main contractor back in 2023 for the construction of a mixed use development. The main contractor who was awarded this contract was ARJ Construction Ltd. The main contractor has subsequently entered administration part way through the development leaving the Council at risk of losing a significant part of the funding that it secured for this project. Accordingly, in order to protect the continuity of the project and to protect the funding stream the Council is intending to contract directly with the next placed contractor from the tender, which is with Bugler Developments Ltd. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Dacorum Borough Council are publishing this VEAT Notice to inform the market that we intend to enter in to a contract with Bugler Developments Ltd in relation to the construction of a mixed use development.
