Summary of the contracting process

In a recent development dated 23rd October 2025, Durham County Council, located in UKC14, United Kingdom, completed a tender for the "Demolition of Quarryhouse Footbridge (Nevilles Cross)," falling under the industry category of construction work (CPV code: 45000000). The project was conducted as a limited procurement method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, indicating a specific selection process outside the usual directive scope as per the 2015 regulations. The awarded contract, valued at £51,400 GBP, was signed on 30th September 2025 with MGL Demolition Limited as the successful supplier.

The project offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in demolition and asbestos removal services, especially those with expertise in complex engineering and construction work. The involvement of various regions such as UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK broadens the geographical scope for collaboration within the United Kingdom. Companies with a focus on similar infrastructure projects or those looking to expand their market in regional and local authority contracts could greatly benefit. Firms holding full asbestos removal licences stand particularly well-placed, and those with a noted performance record have a competitive edge. The framework, available to additional contracting authorities engaged with Durham County Council, ensures further contracting opportunities for successful bidders such as MGL Demolition Limited, and could lead to potential for partnering with larger firms requiring subcontractors for specific demolition and asbestos removal tasks.
