## Summary

West Suffolk Council has successfully concluded a procurement process for the construction of an Advanced Manufacturing & Engineering Centre at the Suffolk Business Park. The project, classified under the construction work industry category, is situated in the UKH14 region. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract officially awarded on 18th August 2025. This contract was conducted as a limited procurement method, specifically an award procedure without prior call for competition, and falls outside the usual scope of the directive. The £13,377,245.43 contract was awarded to Pentaco Construction Ltd, a regional SME based in Norwich, and forms part of a construction framework managed by the council.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses in the construction and engineering sectors, particularly those specialising in advanced manufacturing facilities. Firms with the capabilities to deliver large-scale infrastructure projects in the East of England might find particular interest. With a focus on construction work, enterprises that specialise in the development of industrial and business parks would have been well-suited to compete in this tender, although the procurement was conducted through a direct call-off from an established framework, limiting broader participation.
