Summary of the contracting process

North Tyneside Borough Council procured construction works to supply, install and complete level access showers and associated bathroom adaptations in occupied residential properties. The work supports residents assessed as needing adaptations by an Occupational Therapist, through the council’s Adaptations & Loan Equipment Service. It covers both Disabled Facilities Grant-funded adaptations and works in the council’s tenanted housing stock funded from housing budgets. Delivery is across North Tyneside. The requirement includes completing works with minimal disruption to residents and complying with relevant building regulations, statutory requirements and the council’s housing adaptation standards. This is a public-sector housing adaptation and construction opportunity, suited to contractors able to manage bathroom alterations in occupied homes and work to resident-focused installation standards.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded on 17 July 2026. It used an open procedure to establish a closed framework with reopening of competition, with up to eight participants. One lot was awarded to Aubrey Cornfoot Limited, Buston & Maughan Limited, Equans Regeneration Limited, Metta Construction Limited and Prospect Builders N.E Ltd. The awarded value is £4,000,000 gross, in GBP. The contract period runs from 28 July 2026 to 27 July 2028, with two possible 12-month extensions to 27 July 2030. The tender deadline was 20 March 2026, enquiries closed on 13 March 2026, and the award period ended on 1 April 2026. Evaluation weighted quality at 40% and price at 60%. Eight bids were received, all from SMEs at the final stage.

This requirement demonstrates established demand from North Tyneside Borough Council for level access showers and related bathroom adaptations in occupied homes. A credible future competitor would need practical construction capability in bathroom adaptation and refurbishment, including planning and completing works around residents while minimising disruption. It would also need to work reliably across council housing and grant-funded customer adaptations, follow occupational-therapy-led requirements, and meet building regulations, statutory obligations and the council’s housing adaptation standards. The framework attracted eight final-stage bids, including eight from SMEs, and selected five suppliers, showing that both large contractors and smaller specialist builders can compete. Suppliers should be able to handle repeat work under reopened competitions and coordinate delivery through the council’s adaptations service.
