Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the "Grainger Market Creative Workspace" project was initiated and conducted by Newcastle City Council. This process involves the refurbishment and remodelling of existing buildings at St Cuthberts Chambers in Newcastle upon Tyne. The procurement method was an open competition, classified under the works category, and was completed on 14 October 2025. Key activity dates include the contract award date on 14 October 2025, while the project is scheduled to commence on 28 October 2025 and conclude by 31 May 2026. The project is set in the UKC22 region and was engaging for businesses involved in construction and refurbishment works, particularly those classified as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses focused on refurbishment work, particularly those with a proficiency in construction activities relevant to creative workspace projects. Companies specialising in such projects can utilise this opportunity to expand their portfolio and potentially secure future collaborations with public authorities. With the award going to MGM LTD, an SME, it demonstrates the council's commitment to engaging smaller-scale enterprises. The project's alignment with Newcastle City Council's developmental plans may present further prospects for businesses in the sub-central government sectors. For firms aiming to grow within the UK construction industry, particularly in the North East, such initiatives could form pivotal aspects of strategic expansion.
