## Summary

Stevenage Borough Council has awarded a public works contract for the Forum Multi Storey Car Park project, aimed at supporting the local life sciences industry and enhancing infrastructure. The project falls under the 'Car park building construction work' category and is located in Stevenage, United Kingdom (Region UKH23). The procurement process is completed, and the contract was signed on 17 January 2025. The development is part of a broader regeneration programme, entailing specific development works and the construction of a new multi-storey car park (MSCP). The procurement method used was a Negotiated Procedure without Prior Publication due to the technical impracticalities and safety concerns associated with the project.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specializing in construction and technical re-construction, particularly those capable of handling complex integration into existing infrastructures. The project requires specialised technical skills, thus making it a favourable ground for businesses with expertise in advanced construction methodologies, ensuring compliance with stringent safety standards, and effective project sequencing. Companies involved in the life sciences sector or with experience in similar large-scale infrastructure projects could benefit substantially from participation given the strategic importance and high visibility of this development.
