UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Durham County Council has successfully awarded a contract for home improvement minor works, with the procurement process now at the award stage as of 5th August 2025. The contract, valued at approximately £4,000,000, is slated to run from 1st August 2025 to 30th July 2029. This initiative is focused on minor construction tasks, including extensions, alterations, and garage conversions primarily for disabled clients across the UK region marked as UKC14. The procurement process was limited and conducted below the competitive threshold with a targeted approach towards local contractors, underpinning the council's compliance with grant funding protocols and non-disclosure agreements concerning specifics of the works.

This tender creates significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within the construction sector to expand their footprint by collaborating with a public authority like Durham County Council. Firms like Avensway Ltd, DJH Building, and F.Tiffen Building Services, among other SMEs, have been selected as suppliers, showcasing that similar-sized businesses are well-positioned to benefit from such public sector projects. This collaborative model, particularly with a focus on local contractors, fosters community-oriented business growth, and helps businesses in securing substantial works without the necessity of large-scale competitive bidding.
