The process was conducted under an open procedure with the procurement category focusing on works, specifically building construction work. The final stages saw six valid bids, with "ROBERTSON CONSTRUCTION GROUP LIMITED" emerging as the successful supplier, securing a contract valued at approximately £10.3 million. The award, pending finalisation, is scheduled to contractually commence on 14 April 2026 and to conclude by 1 January 2028. Key deadlines included the standstill period ending on 8 April 2026, emphasising a thorough consideration period. This procurement opportunity presents potential growth avenues for firms specialised in building construction and associated services. Large construction firms like "ROBERTSON CONSTRUCTION GROUP LIMITED" are well-suited to handle the extensive design and construction needs of the Stockyard project, but the open method encourages SMEs to engage competitively, as evidenced by multiple SME bids reaching the final stage. Businesses focused on construction innovation and sustainable development may find strategic partnership opportunities, where performance in the initial design phase could lead to further contracts. The project not only reshapes the physical infrastructure but aims to boost economic vitality by integrating food production, retail, and a multicultural events space, creating an attractive destination for both independent and large enterprise expansion. ## Notice Design and Construction for Melton Borough Councils Stockyard project ### Planning Information https://www.eastmidstenders.org/ ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/028151-2026 | | Notice type | UK6 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Planning, Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Mar 2026 | | Submission deadline | 28 Jan 2026 | | Future notice date | 1 Oct 2025 | | Award date | 26 Mar 2026 | | Contract period | 13 Apr 2026 - 1 Jan 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £10,000,000 | | Lots value | £10,000,000 | | Awards value | £10,334,600 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Pending | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MELTON BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Additional buyers | WELLAND PROCUREMENT | | Locality | MELTON MOWBRAY | | Post town | Leicester | | Postcode | LE13 1GH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF22 Leicestershire CC and Rutland | | Local authority | Melton | | Electoral ward | Melton Warwick | | Westminster constituency | Melton and Syston | | Delivery location | TLF22 Leicestershire CC and Rutland | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | ROBERTSON CONSTRUCTION GROUP | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45210000 - Building construction work ## Release History - 26 Mar 2026 at 16:38 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/028151-2026 - 6 Jan 2026 at 15:22 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000754-2026 - 5 Jan 2026 at 17:17 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000471-2026 - 3 Jun 2025 at 09:44 - PlanningUpdate - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/029422-2025 - 2 Jun 2025 at 21:23 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/029337-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/028151-2026 26th March 2026 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000754-2026 6th January 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000471-2026 5th January 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/029422-2025 3rd June 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/029337-2025 2nd June 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender - https://www.eastmidstenders.org/ Home Page Link direct to opportunity: https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=ec840182-57ea-f011-813c-005056b64545&p=527b4bbd-5c58-e511-80ef-000c29c9ba21 ## Notice URLs - http://Torsiongroup.Co.Uk - http://www.ensoconstruction.co.uk - http://www.jeakinsweir.co.uk - http://www.kpslimited.co.uk - http://www.lindumgroup.com - http://www.melton.gov.uk - http://www.robertson.co.uk - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=ec840182-57ea-f011-813c-005056b64545&p=527b4bbd-5c58-e511-80ef-000c29c9ba21 - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
