Summary of the contracting process

North Northamptonshire Council is seeking a principal contractor to refurbish the Autumn Day Centre in Corby, a public health facility for people with dementia. The works are intended to modernise the dated centre and create a more dementia-friendly environment, following design and reconfiguration work by a specialist architect. The scope includes changes to the layout to improve accessibility and movement around the building, alongside upgrades to utilities and lighting. Safety improvements include non-slip flooring and additional handrails. The Council is procuring on behalf of Public Health, the University of Northampton and the Autumn Centre. This is a building refurbishment and improvement project, rather than a supply-only contract.

The Council invited offers through an open competition, and the process reached the tender stage. The submission deadline set was 30 October 2026 at 12 noon. The contract period is 5 January to 4 November 2027. The estimated contract value is £190,000 excluding VAT (£228,000 including VAT). The procurement is one lot. Bids are assessed on price, weighted at 60%, and quality, weighted at 40%. Suppliers submit through the Council’s ProContract e-procurement portal; a free account is required to access the procurement, and electronic submission is allowed. The Council extended the submission deadline during the process.

This opportunity is suited to principal contractors able to manage and deliver a coordinated refurbishment in an operating or specialist public health facility. Relevant capability includes building reconfiguration, accessibility improvements, utilities and lighting upgrades, and installation of safety features such as non-slip flooring and handrails. Suppliers should be able to work to an architect-developed design that applies dementia-friendly principles, with careful attention to layout, movement and the needs of people using the centre. The tender is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The scope brings several building workstreams together, so it will suit firms with the capacity to coordinate trades and complete a substantial refurbishment project.
