03 / Before you contact them

Check these points

  • The £12.5m excluding-VAT figure relates to the anticipated main works programme. It is not a confirmed build order.
  • The approved pre-construction services agreement is £736,646.55. Final build costings and negotiation remain outstanding.
  • UK6 is an award decision notice published before contract entry. The notice gives a future signature date of 15 October 2026.
  • The 7 December 2026 start and 30 May 2028 end are proposed programme dates, subject to the remaining conditions.
  • No specific equipment hire requirement or open subcontract enquiry has been verified.
  • The contractor link is a general supply-chain application route, not a project-specific invitation to quote.
04 / Put the research to use

A practical next step

Review Robertson’s general supplier requirements if this fits your business. Treat The Gamble as a watch until the main works and programme are confirmed.
