Following the withdrawal of the previous tender, the council intends to reissue a new pipeline notice and host a Competitive Flexible Procedure. This project falls within the construction industry category and is located in Alconbury Weald, Huntingdon, United Kingdom. Key changes include the procurement strategy being adjusted based on market consultation responses, which had a closing date of 19th February 2026. The tender status remains in the Planning stage with an estimated publication date for the revised notice 8-10 weeks post the pipeline update, marking a significant opportunity for construction industries in the region to engage with this large-scale infrastructure project. This tender poses significant growth opportunities particularly for businesses involved in engineering works and construction. Cambridgeshire County Council plans to engage in a two-stage design and build tender process, which is advantageous for contractors skilled in project management, design, and implementation. The planned contract period stretches from 2027 to 2028, offering a stable timeline for businesses to plan resources effectively. The competitive nature and involvement of framework agreements suggest that companies with previous experience in similar large-scale government projects and those proficient in collaborative and strategic negotiations have an excellent chance of success in this procurement process. ## Notice Cambourne to Cambridge Construction Procurement: the current intended tendering strategy will be via two-stage design and build tender process. It is envisaged that we shall be running a Competitive Flexible Procurement process, where initial applicants will be shortlisted from an initial assessment stage to then submit responses. The GCP may consider including dialogue and negotiation within the tendering process as the strategy develops. It is Cambridgeshire County Council (CCC's) intention to appoint a Contractor to undertake design, completion of construction, demobilisation and handover, and formal project closeout.
