Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the George Stephenson High Water Main Replacement Phase 3 PRF 21-070 has recently concluded with an awarded contract. Managed by NORTH TYNESIDE COUNCIL, this selective tendering process utilised a mini competition as part of a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement, classified under the construction industry category, specifically targets the provision of construction structures and materials, excluding electrical apparatus. Located in the North East of the United Kingdom, the contract period began on 20th July 2026 and is set to end on 20th August 2026. The procurement process reached the award stage on 2nd June 2026, with the contract notice published on 28th July 2026. The project has a financial commitment of £122,000 GBP.

This contract provides substantial opportunities for businesses operating within the construction industry, particularly those specialising in materials and infrastructure projects. As the procurement process has been tailored to accommodate small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), businesses of this nature are well-suited to participate in similar future opportunities. The successful supplier, Robert Kirkland (Blyth) Ltd, exemplifies the type of enterprise capable of competing effectively in this arena, suggesting that other SMEs with similar capabilities could potentially benefit from engaging with public-sector procurement activities such as these.
