## Summary

Bedford Borough Council has completed a procurement process for the construction of a Costa Coffee Drive-Thru at Fairhill, with Brownhill Hayward Brown, Chartered Architects, selected as the supplier. The procurement fell under a direct method, based below the competition threshold, signifying limited competitive processes involved. This project, classified under construction works, was documented on 22 May 2025. The contract was signed on 6 May 2025, with the work scheduled to take place from 12 May 2025 until 1 November 2026, covering various regions in the United Kingdom. The council, functioning as a sub-central government public authority, managed the procurement across several UK regions, ensuring both local and broader UK adherence.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for growth for businesses in the construction sector, particularly those specialising in fast-paced service constructions like drive-thru facilities. SMEs comparable to Brownhill Hayward Brown—which won the contract—could find well-suited prospects in similar projects by delivering specialised architectural services. Businesses with proficiency in quick-service retail construction, management, and innovative design solutions could seek similar opportunities for expansion, especially within the food and beverage retail sectors. The emphasis on direct procurement practices also highlights potential for organisations adept at forming strong partnerships with local councils for future project collaborations.
