Summary of the contracting process

The University of Northumbria at Newcastle has successfully completed its procurement process for a Structural Engineering Consultancy Framework. The process, tagged with an award and contract, was initiated as an open procedure under the legal framework CELEX 32014L0024 and focused on structural engineering consultancy services. This procurement, classified under CPV code 71312000, aligns with the services category and extends support for significant projects comprising new builds and estate refurbishments over a four-year framework. The geographic focus for delivery is Tyneside, in the UKC22 region. Key outcomes include contracts signed on 1st July 2025 and 27th June 2025, each valued at £500,000, and awarded to suppliers such as Jasper Kerr Consulting Engineers Ltd and Japer Kerr Limited. All bids were submitted electronically, highlighting the procurement's modern approach.

This procurement presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for firms with competencies in structural engineering consultancy services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), keen on expanding their portfolio through multi-year contracts, are well-positioned to seize such opportunities, given the open procedure's inclusive policy outlined at the tender stage. Businesses that can offer high-quality service at competitive pricing, as specified by the award criteria of 50% on quality and 50% on pricing, will have a strong chance of competing effectively. The framework agreement aspect means that successful bidders gain a recurring client relationship with the University, facilitating stable growth over an extended period through repeated call-offs.
