UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Durham County Council procured partition, suspended-ceiling and wall installation works for the Coulson Street Phase 3 project, through its framework for partitions, suspended ceilings, walls and associated works. This is construction work, covering the supply and installation of internal building systems. The framework is also available to Durham County Council and eligible partner organisations, including schools, fire and rescue services, housing providers, parish and town councils, and other agreed public bodies. Work under the framework may be delivered across the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West of England.

The procurement is complete and has resulted in two active awards. DTJ Drywall Systems Limited and Paramount Ceilings and Partitions Ltd were awarded the first contract, valued at £3,000,000 excluding VAT (£3,600,000 including VAT). Its period runs from 2 February 2026 to 21 January 2028, with possible extensions of up to two 12-month periods. Paramount Ceilings and Partitions Ltd also received a separate award valued at £154,600 excluding VAT (£185,520 including VAT), for a contract running from 23 October to 16 November 2026, with a defect period stated as a renewal. Both contracts were signed on 31 January and 19 October 2026 respectively. The council used a limited competition under a framework; award criteria are not stated.

This framework demonstrates demand for contractors able to supply and install partitions, suspended ceilings and walls, and undertake associated works across public-sector buildings. The council intended to appoint no more than three framework contractors. Call-offs may be awarded directly or competed, and the route can depend on the project, urgency, value-for-money evidence or a requirement for early contractor involvement, surveys or specification development. The council expects competitive pricing and sets maximum applicable rates. Suppliers need the capacity to respond to varied project requirements, including urgent or emergency works with health and safety implications, and to deliver projects across the framework’s broad geographic coverage. Work volumes and expenditure are not guaranteed; successful providers must pay a retrospective rebate of 1% on business transacted through the framework.
