Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process led by Northumberland County Council concerns the refurbishment of public toilets in Amble, located in Morpeth, Northumberland. The contract, titled "NCC1599 Amble Toilet Refurbishment," falls under the construction industry category, specifically focusing on works (construction work). The procurement process utilised an open, below-threshold competition method. The tender, associated with the CPV code 45000000, moved from the tender stage to award and contract signing. The contract, valued grossly at £228,776.20, was awarded to Meldrum Construction Services Group Limited. The contract began on 29th September 2025 and is set to end on 14th November 2025, highlighting the efficient and decisive procurement timeline managed by the sub-central government public authority.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the construction industry, specifically those with expertise in refurbishment projects. Businesses specialising in public amenities refurbishment could leverage such contracts to expand their portfolio. Given the procurement's focus on competitive open competition and a defined emphasis on both quality and price (Quality 30%, Price 70%), companies that offer high-quality construction works at competitive pricing are optimally positioned to compete. Additionally, while the lot details indicate an allowance for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), the successful bidder, Meldrum Construction Services Group Limited, identified as a large-scale enterprise, suggests that larger firms with substantial capacity may hold competitive advantages in fulfilling such contracts.
