Summary of the contracting process

The North Yorkshire Council has completed a public procurement process for groundworks, involving the relaying of flagstones, tarmac, and concrete to driveways, paths, and patios within social housing. This process, identified under tender ID "BVF 2025-26 643," was realised through a direct procurement method classified as below threshold - without competition. The procurement sector is works, specifically construction work, under CPV code 45000000. The contract, dubbed "Groundworks," spans from 1st July 2025 to 31st December 2025, with the construction activities taking place within the Yorkshire and the Humber region. The contract was awarded to A.E. Duffield & Sons Limited, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME), on 30th June 2025, with a gross contract value of £60,000.

This opportunity offers extensive prospects for businesses involved in construction and related services, particularly those skilled in groundworks and outdoor renovations. Such SMEs, like A.E. Duffield & Sons Limited, stand to benefit from similar public contracts by having the capacity to efficiently deliver on specialised projects within the social housing sector. Businesses that can deliver cost-effective, quality groundwork solutions within stipulated timelines and budgetary constraints would be well-suited for comparable procurement opportunities offered by local and regional government bodies. This contract underscores the importance of having established capabilities tailored to the public procurement landscape, potentially leading to further growth and a robust portfolio of government projects.
