Summary of the contracting process

Newcastle City Council procured the supply and installation of fire doors in housing blocks. The work is a construction contract covering a citywide programme, with Newcastle upon Tyne identified as the delivery location. The requirement concerns both supplying the doors and installing them in housing blocks, rather than supply alone. The procurement was managed by Newcastle City Council, which is also the buying organisation. The contract is described as a programme of works, and a later contract amendment says additional work was needed for the contractor to complete phase four. This indicates a phased housing-block fire-door programme, with the delivery footprint described as citywide. The requirement is relevant to suppliers able to provide fire doors and carry out installation work in occupied or managed housing settings.

The procurement has been awarded and both recorded awards name Straightline (NE) Ltd as supplier. The council used an open procedure, with quality and price weighted equally at 50% each. The tender deadline was 13 February 2025. One contract was signed on 28 May 2025, valued at £4,485,346.39; the other was signed on 19 May 2025, valued at £5,166,270.44, for a 720-day period. The second contract was later increased to allow the contractor to complete phase four of the programme. The tender was arranged as one lot, although its status is recorded as cancelled while the awards and contracts are active. No award dates are provided.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates Newcastle City Council’s demand for a substantial, phased fire-door supply and installation programme across its housing blocks. A credible competitor would need to combine dependable access to suitable fire doors with the workforce, operational capacity and project management to install them across a citywide programme and complete work in phases. The successful supplier was Straightline (NE) Ltd, recorded as an SME, showing that an SME supplier was selected for this requirement. The equal weighting of quality and price indicates that a future competitor would need to offer both a strong-quality delivery approach and competitive pricing. Experience coordinating supply and installation for housing-block work would be directly relevant.
