Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Sunderland City Council involves a construction project titled "The Whitehouse," classified under the CPV code for multi-dwelling buildings and individual houses. This project encompasses converting a four-bedroomed residential property in West Boldon into a residential home for children aged 11-16. The procurement followed a limited method, specifically a further competition under the NEPO207 Construction Works Framework, without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was awarded to Able Construction (Northern) Ltd for a total value of £560,935.28 and was signed on 27th November 2025. As of 9th January 2026, the procurement stage is complete, with the location designated as UKC23, covering Sunderland and the surrounding areas.

This tender presents promising growth opportunities for businesses involved in the construction and refurbishment industry, especially those familiar with public sector requirements and frameworks such as PCR2015. Companies with competencies in residential conversions and a focus on delivering social value alongside competitive pricing are likely to benefit from similar future opportunities. Small and medium-sized enterprises, particularly those based in the Northeast of England, could find engagement in such frameworks beneficial for expanding their portfolio and demonstrating expertise in projects with socially impactful outcomes.
