The requirement covers construction work, engineering and construction works, masonry and bricklaying, bricklaying, and supporting-wall work. The work is to be delivered in Suffolk, with the procurement identifying Suffolk as the participation location. This is a works contract for a single retaining-wall replacement project rather than a wider supply or maintenance framework. Businesses should therefore have a direct interest in civil engineering, structural construction, masonry or specialist retaining-wall works, and be able to undertake work for a local authority in Suffolk. The buying organisation is Ipswich Borough Council, based in Ipswich. The procurement has reached tender: Ipswich Borough Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition, with electronic submission allowed via www.suffolksourcing.uk. The deadline for clarification questions was 11am on 10 September 2026, and the tender submission deadline is 11am on 23 September 2026; late returns are not permitted. The contract is scheduled to run from 10 November 2026 to 10 May 2027. Its estimated value is £332,100 excluding VAT and £398,520 including VAT. There is one lot. Evaluation is based on 60% price and 40% quality. Participation is reserved for organisations located in Suffolk. This opportunity suits construction contractors with practical experience replacing retaining walls and delivering structural or civil engineering works. Relevant specialist capability includes masonry and bricklaying, supporting-wall construction, and managing associated engineering and construction activities. It may also suit smaller regional firms that can undertake a single local-authority project rather than needing a large programme of works. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate the quality of their proposed approach, because quality accounts for 40% of the evaluation alongside price. The participation requirement means the opportunity is aimed at organisations located in Suffolk, making it particularly relevant to established Suffolk construction businesses and local specialist subcontractors able to deliver the works. ## Notice Ipswich Borough Council are currently out to tender for the provision of a replacement retaining wall.
