Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northumberland County Council procured the supply of Perma Steel Boarding for Tweedmouth and Berwick Middle School. The requirement sits within repair and maintenance services and is classed as a service contract. Delivery is in the North East of England, for the council’s school estate. The council is the buying organisation and appointed a contractor to provide the boarding requirement. This is relevant to businesses supplying Perma Steel Boarding, related boarding systems, or repair and maintenance services for education premises. It may also suit smaller suppliers and voluntary, community or social enterprises, as the procurement was identified as suitable for both SMEs and VCSEs. The requirement is specific to the named school rather than a broad regional maintenance programme.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 15 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 4 August 2026 to VPS UK LIMITED for £40,813.04 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 4 August 2026 to 3 August 2027. The tender’s estimated value was also £40,813.04. The award is active and covers the supply of Perma Steel Boarding for Tweedmouth and Berwick Middle School. The recorded evaluation route was the framework call-off procedure, rather than an open tender. Northumberland County Council is the contracting authority and VPS UK LIMITED is the appointed supplier.

This award provides a clear indication of demand from Northumberland County Council for specialist boarding products at school premises, delivered through an established framework route. A credible competitor for similar work would need to supply Perma Steel Boarding or an equivalent product, understand the requirements of repair and maintenance work, and deliver reliably within an education setting. Smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises were considered suitable for this type of requirement, so relevant scale and organisational status need not be barriers. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate dependable product sourcing, practical installation or maintenance capability where required, and the capacity to meet a defined school-site requirement for the council.
