Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Tyneside Council procured construction works for the second phase of classroom upgrades at Collingwood Primary School. The requirement concerned building structures and construction materials, including associated auxiliary products, and was intended for delivery in North East England. This was a school improvement project delivered as works rather than goods or general services. The council was the buying organisation, using the requirement to upgrade classroom facilities at the school. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The appointed supplier, Birchtree Northern Ltd, is itself recorded as an SME, indicating that the scale and delivery model were accessible to a smaller construction business. The project was specific to classroom upgrading rather than a broad estates maintenance contract.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini competition under a framework agreement, using a selective call-off procedure. Bids had to be submitted by 8 May 2026 at 12:00. The award decision was made on 2 June 2026. Birchtree Northern Ltd was awarded the contract for £36,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period ran from 20 July 2026 to 20 August 2026. The tender's overall estimated value was also £36,000. The published outcome records an active award to the named supplier. The available procurement information identifies construction works and the framework call-off route, but does not set out a separate weighting or scoring basis for evaluating offers.

For a competing construction business, this award demonstrates local authority demand for small, defined school refurbishment projects delivered through a framework mini competition. A credible future supplier would need practical capability in classroom or education-building upgrades, including construction work and the supply or installation of relevant building materials and associated products. The requirement is well suited to an SME able to mobilise a site team for a short, focused project and complete works within a tightly bounded delivery window. Useful preparation would include evidence of comparable school or public-sector refurbishment work, dependable programme management, competent trades and supply-chain control. Businesses seeking similar work from North Tyneside Council should also understand framework call-off procedures and be ready to respond competitively to mini competitions.
