Summary of the contracting process

Advance Northumberland Limited is seeking a roads and sewers subcontractor for the Coulson Park housing development in Ashington, Northumberland. The work supports a new-build scheme of 57 housing plots and falls within construction works, covering construction structures, materials and associated construction activity. The delivery location is in England, at Coulson Park in Ashington. The requirement is intended for a contractor responsible for the roads and sewer infrastructure associated with the development rather than for the construction of the homes themselves. It is a works opportunity suitable for businesses specialising in residential development infrastructure, civil engineering, drainage, sewer installation and estate roads. Advance Northumberland Limited is the buying organisation, trading through its developments business.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure below the threshold. Bids were due by 9 October 2026 at 17:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 11 January 2027 to 12 July 2027. The work concerns the roads and sewers for the Coulson Park development and the procurement is presented as a single requirement rather than a stated multi-lot opportunity. The tender is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Offers are submitted against the tender requirements and documentation, with the opportunity structured as a competitive open procedure. The buyer set the delivery period at approximately six months, covering the planned infrastructure works for the 57-plot development.

This opportunity suits specialist civil engineering and infrastructure subcontractors that can deliver estate roads and sewer works as part of a new-build housing development. Relevant businesses are likely to include residential groundworks contractors, drainage and sewer installation firms, and construction companies with the plant, site teams and project management capacity needed to complete infrastructure across 57 plots. Experience of coordinating roads and drainage with housing development programmes would be commercially relevant, as would the ability to work to an agreed construction schedule and manage interfaces with the wider development team. The procurement is specifically marked as suitable for SMEs, making it relevant to smaller contractors with established roads and sewers capability, suitable operational capacity and experience of comparable residential schemes.
