Summary of the contracting process

Advance Northumberland (Commercial) Limited procured construction work for the third phase of the Bedlington Town Centre regeneration. The project comprises a new 19,000 sq ft B&M retail store and an 1,800 sq ft Starbucks drive-through, together with external works. The development is in Bedlington, Northumberland. The requirement covers building construction for the retail premises and drive-through, plus associated work to the surrounding site. It is a town-centre regeneration project intended to deliver new commercial premises as part of the wider regeneration programme.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Tri Construction Limited, an SME based in Newcastle upon Tyne. The contract was signed on 29 September 2026 and runs from 29 September 2026 to 25 June 2027. Its awarded value is £3,577,113 excluding VAT (£4,292,535 including VAT). The original estimated value was £4,004,983 excluding VAT (£4,805,979.60 including VAT). This was a below-threshold open competition using a competitive flexible procedure, with a single lot. Suppliers had to pass the mandatory and pass/fail questions in the Procurement Specific Questionnaire and meet the technical and professional ability requirements. The later-stage evaluation weighted price at 60%, quality at 35% and social value at 5%.

The award shows demand from Advance Northumberland for a contractor able to deliver commercial building construction within a town-centre regeneration project. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need the technical and professional ability to satisfy the authority’s participation checks, alongside the capacity to construct retail premises and a drive-through unit and complete associated external works. The evaluation placed the greatest weight on price, while also assessing quality and social value, so bidders would need competitive pricing supported by a convincing delivery approach and evidence of social value. The winning supplier is an SME, indicating that this scale of construction contract was deliverable by a small or medium-sized business. The work is specific to retail development and associated site works, rather than general construction alone.
