Summary of the contracting process

Durham County Council commissioned construction support for the Bishop Auckland development following the planning application and completion of RIBA Stage 4 design. The work supports the project as it moves from design into construction, and is associated with the built environment, highways, transportation and civil engineering. Delivery is in Bishop Auckland in the North East of England. The buying organisation is Durham County Council. The requirement is a professional services assignment rather than construction works themselves, focused on providing technical and project support after planning and detailed design. It was procured through the council’s access to the NEPO212 framework for support services for development of the built environment, specifically its multi-disciplinary highways, transportation and civil engineering scope.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Durham County Council used a selective call-off from the NEPO212 framework rather than an open competition. The submission deadline was 28 May 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to JACOBS U.K. LIMITED on 27 July 2026 for £104,876.38 including the published currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 8 June 2026 to 31 August 2026. The award is active. The procurement is for services and is identified under CPV 79000000, covering business services such as consulting. The opportunity was stated to be suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. There is one requirement covering the Bishop Auckland construction-support assignment.

This award indicates demand for post-planning, RIBA Stage 4 construction support on local development projects, with a strong technical focus on highways, transportation and civil engineering. A credible competing supplier would need multi-disciplinary built-environment capability, including the ability to interpret and develop detailed design information and support its delivery during construction. Experience in construction-stage consultancy, planning follow-through, civil engineering coordination and liaison with project stakeholders would be relevant. Firms should also be able to operate through a public-sector framework call-off and demonstrate the quality, technical competence and delivery capacity expected for a time-limited council commission. The requirement was suitable for SMEs, so a suitably experienced smaller consultancy or specialist-led consortium could be well placed when comparable work returns to this buyer.
