This project falls within the construction industry category and is located in Cambridge, UKH12 region. The procurement stage is currently in the tender phase, with key dates including an enquiry period ending on 23rd June 2025 and the tender period closing on 30th June 2025, followed by the contract period from 1st July to 31st July 2025. The procurement method is an open competition, and the contract value is estimated at £40,000 gross (£48,000 inclusive of VAT). This tender presents a significant opportunity for construction businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to expand their portfolios and secure government contracts. As this contract is reserved for supported employment providers, organisations that employ at least 30% disabled or disadvantaged individuals, it also offers a unique chance for businesses with such workforce compositions to participate. A competitive price is a key award criterion, providing an advantage to cost-efficient businesses, while the social focus of the procurement aligns with the objectives of organisations supporting employment for disadvantaged individuals. The nature of this project allows companies with experience in kitchen extensions and community facility upgrades to leverage their expertise for business growth. ## Notice This procurement exercise is being run by Cambridge City Council (CCC) under the Procurement Act 2023 Section 6 - Reserving Contracts to Supported Employment Providers and PR 2024 R24 and is let solely for and on behalf of Cambridge City Council.
