Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by North Northamptonshire Council involved a tender for the refurbishment of Raven House, a children's home located on the outskirts of Corby. This project, falling under the construction industry category, included internal refurbishment works, underground drainage repairs, and tree removal. North Northamptonshire Council acted as the buying authority, based at The Corby Cube, George Street, Corby. The tender, identified as NNC00000685, followed an open procurement method specifically designed for below-threshold competitions. The contract stage was completed with the award going to IGLOO SURFACES LIMITED, which was signed on 21st November 2025, and is valued at GBP 202,051.54 net, running until 29th May 2026. The procurement process progressed from planning to tender and award stages over several months between July and November 2025.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses in the construction sector, particularly those suited for refurbishment and repair projects in residential buildings. Given the project's focus on a children’s home, companies experienced in sensitive or public sector projects will find this environment advantageous. The open competition method allowed for a fair and competitive bidding process, with IGLOO SURFACES LIMITED, a small-to-medium enterprise, securing the contract. This suggests that SMEs with competitive pricing and quality offerings are well-positioned to vie for similar public contracts. Additionally, the documentation indicated a preference for quality and cost, emphasizing a balanced approach to value in their award criteria, which can serve as a guiding principle for businesses aiming to develop competitive proposals.
