Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Tyneside Council commissioned fire compartmentation works at Longbenton Estate, Phase 4. The works involve construction-related fire safety measures to compartmentalise the estate and help limit the spread of fire. The recorded delivery area is North East England. This is a works contract, rather than a supply-only purchase or general consultancy appointment. The requirement is specifically tied to the fourth phase of the Longbenton Estate programme, so firms with experience delivering fire compartmentation in occupied or residential estates are the closest fit. The council is the buyer and will use the works to address fire safety at the estate.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded following a mini-competition call-off from a framework agreement. ABCA Systems Limited was selected. The award was made on 5 October 2026, after the tender submission deadline of 23 September 2026 at noon. The awarded contract value is £455,000. The contract period runs from 19 October 2026 to 19 March 2027. This was a selective procedure conducted through the framework call-off route. The published information identifies the requirement and method but does not set out the evaluation criteria or specific eligibility conditions. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to undertake the works.

This award shows North Tyneside Council’s demand for estate-based fire compartmentation works, with a single phase-specific contract at a substantial works scale delivered through a framework mini-competition. ABCA Systems Limited, identified as an SME, won the contract, demonstrating that a smaller specialist supplier can compete for this type of requirement. Firms positioning for comparable work should be able to deliver fire compartmentation safely and at pace within a defined estate programme, with the operational capacity to complete works over a concentrated contract period. Relevant experience in construction and fire safety work in residential or occupied buildings would be important evidence of credibility. The procurement route also makes framework access and the ability to respond to call-off competitions commercially relevant for suppliers targeting this council’s requirement.
