This tender, under the open competition procurement method, encompasses the creation of a new sensory garden in the Children’s ward and refurbishment of the outpatients' courtyard at Colchester District General Hospital. Located in Colchester, UK, the project falls under the industry category of building construction work. Businesses interested in this opportunity must submit their bids by 1st August 2025. The procurement is currently in the tender stage, with the enquiry period closing on 28th July 2025. Participating in this tender could provide a significant opportunity for growth, especially for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), as the procurement process has a reserved participation policy in place for these organisations. The project not only highlights financial criteria but also weighs quality and social value, making it well-suited to businesses that can deliver on both these aspects.
