UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Norfolk County Council has awarded a contract for the refurbishment of Applewood Children's Home, situated in Blithemeadow Court on the outskirts of Norwich, UK. The project is focused on converting the existing office building into a residential facility to accommodate children with sensory and complex needs, thereby enhancing the children's services infrastructure. This procurement process has reached the award stage, with the contract being signed on 29th September 2025. The procurement method was limited, under the threshold for a competitive tender, and the work falls under the construction industry category, specifically classified as construction work with a CPV code of 45000000. The contract is valued at a gross amount of £684,951 and is set to be completed by 6th February 2026.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses operating in the construction sector, particularly those specialising in refurbishment projects within the residential care industry. Companies such as SMEs with experience in adaptive building projects for complex needs services could benefit greatly from the emerging requirements in this sector. As the contract was awarded to Steven Seals Builder Limited, a well-positioned SME, similar businesses in the construction field could find opportunities in upcoming refurbishments and the expansion of facilities for public services. This contract underscores the demand for specialised residential construction services and highlights the potential for growth through participation in similar public sector projects.
