Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northumberland County Council commissioned refurbishment works to the gymnasium building at Berwick Barracks. The work is a construction contract focused on upgrading the existing gymnasium; the description does not break the refurbishment into specific trades or tasks. Delivery is at Berwick Barracks in Northumberland, in the North East of England. The procurement is for works, rather than a supply-only purchase or an ongoing service, and is relevant to building contractors with experience delivering refurbishment projects. The council is the buyer and the work concerns a single building at the barracks.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Aptus Construction Limited on 31 October 2025. The awarded contract value is £817,419.02. The contract period runs from 16 March 2026 to 28 August 2026. Suppliers submitted responses by 26 August 2025. The council used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the work was classified as refurbishment. No separate lots are described. The published procurement information does not provide evaluation weightings or detailed selection requirements, so the specific basis on which bids were compared is not stated here.

This award confirms demand from Northumberland County Council for building refurbishment at Berwick Barracks, delivered through a framework call-off. A credible competitor when this requirement next returns would need to undertake construction refurbishment of an existing gymnasium building, with the capacity to manage and complete a focused building project within a defined contract period. The selected supplier was identified as an SME, showing that the contract was delivered by a business of that scale; the procurement was also marked as suitable for SMEs. The requirement is specifically for refurbishment works at the barracks, so relevant experience would be in comparable building renovation rather than unrelated construction or facilities services. No particular accreditations or technical qualifications are identified in the information provided.
