Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Tyneside Council bought kitchen and bathroom installation works for Phase 1 of the Hillheads Estate project. The work is classified as construction, and is delivered in North East England. The procurement is a council housing improvement project focused on fitting kitchens and bathrooms; the published scope identifies no further specification of the installations. The selected supplier, A. & J. Keith Limited, is a small business based in Wallsend, Tyne and Wear. This gives a clear indication of the local public-sector demand: a council sought a contractor to undertake estate-based domestic installation works, rather than a supply-only purchase.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to A. & J. Keith Limited on 25 September 2026. The award value is £730,000. The contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 5 February 2027. North Tyneside Council used a selective call-off from a framework agreement, following a mini-competition. The original submission deadline was 9 September 2026 at noon. The tender was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The procurement data does not state a separate scoring breakdown or describe specific technical, quality or price evaluation weights, so the award basis cannot be summarised more precisely. The contract is for the Hillheads Estate Phase 1 kitchen and bathroom installation works.

For contractors competing for comparable North Tyneside Council housing work, this award shows demand for delivery of kitchen and bathroom installations as a defined estate improvement project. A small business was selected, indicating that this scale of work can be delivered by an SME, rather than requiring a large national contractor. Credible competitors would need the capacity to manage a concentrated programme of domestic installations and deliver coordinated kitchen and bathroom work across the estate. The route used was a mini-competition under a framework, so suppliers would need access to an appropriate framework to compete through the same route. The award provides evidence of the buyer’s requirement and procurement approach; it does not establish particular accreditations, technical qualifications or evaluation priorities beyond the published scope.
