Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Doncaster Traincrew - Accommodation Improvements" project has been completed. The buying organisation, Northern Trains Limited, based in York, United Kingdom, facilitated this tender in the construction industry with an emphasis on internal refurbishment. The procurement method specified was "limited competition," implying a below-threshold approach within the utilities sector. This contract, now awarded and active, involves the refurbishment of the SPO building in Doncaster to provide modern office and meeting spaces, alongside necessary facilities for traincrew and management. The award date was 22nd October 2025, with the contract period ending on 31st March 2026, indicating a strategic and targeted investment in rail infrastructure improvements.

This project presents significant opportunities for construction firms, particularly those capable of delivering within a specialised and competitive environment. It is particularly suitable for firms like Colt Construction Ltd, which secured this contract, demonstrating capability and expertise in refurbishment projects for infrastructure clients. The value of the contract, amounting to approximately £1.32 million gross, also provides a substantial business opportunity for firms large enough to manage such scale and complexity within the specified timelines. Companies operating within the Yorkshire and Humber region may find similar projects beneficial to enhance their portfolios and establish relationships with central government entities like Northern Trains Limited, thus fostering continual business growth in the public sector.
