## Summary

Bolsover District Council is procuring groundworks to enable construction of 40 dwellings at Mill Lane, Bolsover, near Chesterfield in Derbyshire. The works cover site preparation and construction-related civil engineering. The council is the buyer, and the project site is in Bolsover. The requirement is a single package rather than separately described work lots, giving groundworks contractors an opportunity to deliver the site works for the whole housing development. The scope is tied to the preparation and delivery of the 40-home scheme; suppliers should assess the tender documents for the detailed work specification and technical requirements.

The council invited offers through a competitive open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 6 November 2026 at 12:00, and clarification questions were due by 21 October 2026 at 17:00. The planned contract period runs from 4 January 2027 to 29 January 2029, with an award decision scheduled by 4 December 2026. The estimated contract value is £2,877,000 gross. The single lot is evaluated on price (40%) and quality (60%): methodology, programme and delivery (15%); quality management, defect prevention and handover (15%); risk, health, safety and environmental management (10%); relevant experience and lessons learned (10%); and sustainability and social value (10%). Offers and clarification questions are handled electronically through the In-Tend portal.

This opportunity is best suited to groundworks contractors able to undertake site preparation and civil engineering for a residential development of 40 homes. Competing suppliers will need to present a credible delivery methodology and programme, alongside robust quality management, defect prevention and handover arrangements. The evaluation also rewards practical management of project risk, health and safety, and environmental impacts, as well as relevant experience and evidence of lessons learned from comparable work. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate how their approach supports sustainability and social value. Price matters, but it accounts for 40% of the assessment, so a well-evidenced technical and delivery proposal is important. The scale and multi-year delivery period favour businesses with the capacity to resource and manage a substantial housing groundworks package.
