## Summary

Fenland District Council is procuring construction works for a four-storey mixed-use building at 11–12 High Street, Wisbech, Cambridgeshire. The scheme comprises six residential flats on the upper floors and a large commercial unit at ground-floor level. The requirement covers building construction, including flats construction work. The work is concentrated at a town-centre site in Wisbech and is intended to deliver both residential accommodation and commercial space within one building. This is a single construction requirement rather than separate specialist service packages. It will suit a main contractor able to take responsibility for delivering a complete mixed-use development, coordinating the building works and meeting the requirements set out in the tender documents.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through an open competition below the applicable threshold. It has one lot. Questions could be submitted until 6 October 2026 at 5pm, and bids were due by 14 October 2026 at noon. The contract period is 1 January to 31 December 2027. The estimated value is £3,000,000 excluding VAT and £3,600,000 including VAT; the lot value is recorded as AED 3,000,000 excluding VAT and AED 3,600,000 including VAT. Offers are evaluated on 60% price and 40% quality. Electronic submission is allowed through the council’s stated procurement portal.

This opportunity suits established building contractors with direct experience of town-centre construction or comparable mixed-use developments. Bidders must provide evidence of previous relevant work, references and financial information as part of their tender response. The requirement also sets a minimum turnover of £5 million, so it is aimed at businesses with substantial financial capacity and the resources to deliver a complete four-storey development. Strong candidates are likely to have experience coordinating residential and commercial construction within a constrained urban site, managing the full construction programme and demonstrating reliable quality, financial control and project delivery. Contractors whose work is limited to individual trades or small-scale residential projects may not meet the stated experience and financial requirements.
