Summary of the contracting process

Northumberland County Council procured construction and demolition works at Dr Pit Park Welfare Park, the former home of Bedlington Terriers Football Club. The requirement covers full demolition of all existing structures, substructures, infrastructure and associated materials, followed by levelling and grass seeding to create a site suitable for safe public access and use. The final element is installation of a new boundary fence. The work is located in Bedlington, in Northumberland’s North East area. This is a site-clearance, ground-reinstatement and fencing project rather than a general building project, and would suit contractors able to manage demolition, removal of materials, ground preparation, seeding and perimeter fencing as one coordinated package. The procurement is categorised as construction work and as works.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to A Bucklers Haulage on 26 June 2026. The awarded contract value is £148,620, inclusive of the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 30 October 2026. It was a selective procedure using a call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender submission deadline at 12:00 on 25 June 2026. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one requirement rather than separate lots. Northumberland County Council identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, and the procurement status is complete. The available process information records the route and outcome but does not set out a separate scored evaluation formula or detailed participation criteria.

This award shows a council requirement for a compact, coordinated demolition and site-reinstatement package, delivered through a framework call-off and awarded to an SME. A credible future competitor would need practical capability across full demolition of structures and substructures, managing associated infrastructure and materials, preparing and levelling the ground, grass seeding, and installing a new boundary fence. Experience of safely returning former sports or public-use sites to accessible condition would be relevant, alongside the capacity to sequence different workstreams and leave the site suitable for public use. Suppliers with their own demolition, haulage, groundworks or fencing capability, or a dependable delivery team covering these activities, would be well placed. The requirement also indicates that smaller construction businesses can compete through the council’s framework route.
