| Buyer: | Stevenage Borough Council |

| Procurement Method: | Direct award |
| Method Rationale: | Switching to direct award By way of a Tender Notice issued on 23 January 2026 Stevenage Borough Council (Council) commenced a single stage tendering procedure (an open procedure) pursuant to section 20 of the Procurement Act 2023 (Act) inviting tenders for the Provision of Property Management Services and Business Support Services at the Business Technology Centre (BTC), Bessemer Drive, Stevenage, SG1 2DX and Chells Industrial Units (CIU), The Glebe, Chells Way, Stevenage, SG2 0LQ. The Tender Notice identifier is 2026/S 000-006245 and a link to the Tender Notice is available at https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/006245-2026?origin=SearchResults&p=1 The tender process was a competitive tendering procedure under section 20 of the Act and the deadline for the receipt of tenders was 27th February 2026. No tender submissions were received in response to the Tender Notice. As the Council has carried out a competitive tendering procedure and received no suitable tenders in response to that tender process, it is permitted to award a contract directly to a supplier (that is not an excluded supplier) pursuant to section 43(1) of the Act where it considers that an award following a competitive tendering procedure is not possible. Given that no bids were received in response to the Tender Notice, the Council is satisfied that an award following a competitive tendering procedure under section 19 is not possible in the circumstances and the Council now intends to award a contract directly to Wenta Business Centres Limited under section 43(1). The chosen supplier is currently providing the services. The council has carried out checks to ensure the chosen supplier is not an excluded supplier within the meaning of the Act. As part of its decision to make a direct award under section 43(1), the possibility of carrying out a further tendering procedure has been considered. The Council is satisfied that time constraints would make it highly challenging to maintain the continuity of service at the BTC and CIU if the Council retendered and there is also a high probability of attracting an identical outcome with no suitable tenders which would leave the Council with no operator when the current contract expires. The contract that the Council proposes to enter into has been published on the Council's webpage at the following location to view: https://www.stevenage.gov.uk/about-the-council/tenders-and-contracts/contract-register |
