Summary of the contracting process

Blyth Town Council is procuring the replacement and installation of ten bus shelters across Blyth, Northumberland. The works cover removal and appropriate disposal of existing shelters, preparation of sites where needed, supply and installation of new shelters, associated seating and ancillary work to deliver complete, safe and operational bus waiting facilities. The scheme aims to improve safety, accessibility, quality and amenity for residents and visitors, and is funded through the North East Mayoral Strategic Authority’s Bus Service Improvement Plan. The procurement is for bus shelter supply and installation (CPV 44212321), with the locations and technical scope set out in the project specifications. The stated delivery location is Blyth.

Blyth Town Council invited tenders through an open, below-threshold procedure. The tender deadline set by the buyer was 18 October 2026 at 23:59. The planned contract period runs from 26 October 2026 to 28 February 2027. The estimated contract value is £100,000–£116,000. The requirement is presented as one package covering ten shelters; no separate lots are described. The tender includes evaluation criteria and a quality and methodology response alongside a pricing schedule, indicating assessment of both quality and price. The procurement is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. The scope includes site preparation, disposal and ancillary works as well as the shelter supply and installation, so bidders should account for the complete delivery requirement when pricing and planning their offer.

This opportunity is suited to contractors able to supply and install bus shelters and manage the associated site works as a complete package. Relevant capabilities include removing and disposing of existing structures appropriately, preparing installation sites, fitting new shelters and seating, and completing ancillary work needed to provide safe, usable facilities. The buyer describes the required contractors as suitably qualified and experienced, so evidence of relevant delivery experience and a credible method for managing quality and installation is likely to matter. Health and safety is addressed in the tender materials, making a clear approach to safe working relevant to bidders. The ten-site scope calls for the capacity to coordinate work across locations in Blyth while maintaining consistent standards. The procurement is identified as suitable for SMEs.
