Summary of the contracting process

Durham County Council procured partition and suspended-ceiling installation for Coulson Street Phase 3, as part of its framework for supplying and installing partitions, suspended ceilings and walls. This is a building-construction works package focused on internal partitions and ceilings. The recorded delivery location is the North East of England. The requirement was placed as a framework call-off, rather than as a standalone procurement. It is relevant to contractors able to supply and install partition and ceiling systems for a council building project.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to DTJ Drywall Systems Limited. The award was made on 22 September 2026, for £154,641. The contract period runs from 23 September to 30 November 2026. The estimated tender value was also £154,641. Durham County Council used a selective procedure, calling the work off from its framework agreement for partitions, suspended ceilings and walls. The tender deadline was 21 September 2026 at 12:00. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published information does not set out a separate evaluation breakdown or award scoring basis.

This award provides a concrete example of Durham County Council buying partition and ceiling installation through its existing framework. The selected supplier, DTJ Drywall Systems Limited, is a small business, showing that a smaller contractor won this package. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to demonstrate the practical ability to supply and install partitions and suspended ceilings as a complete works package, and to deliver within a defined project period. Familiarity with framework call-off procurement is commercially relevant, since the council used that route for this work. The requirement is specifically internal partition and ceiling construction at Coulson Street; relevant experience should therefore be directly applicable to those systems and installation works, rather than general building services.
