Summary of the contracting process

Newcastle City Council procured scaffolding works for the Window Replacement Programme at Newbiggin Hall. The requirement covers providing scaffolding to support window replacement activity, with the work taking place in Newbiggin Hall, Newcastle upon Tyne. This is a construction works opportunity rather than a supply-only contract or consultancy service. The named buyer is Newcastle City Council, a local authority. The procurement is relevant to businesses that provide commercial scaffolding services and can support building or refurbishment programmes in a council setting. The scope is identified as scaffolding work, including the associated provision needed for the window replacement programme. Suppliers whose core work is access scaffolding for planned property works should see a direct fit with the requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. It used one lot, with bids assessed on quality at 40% and price at 60%. The tender submission and enquiry deadline was 6 May 2026 at 12:00. The lot had an estimated value of £185,000 excluding VAT, or £222,000 including VAT. Nine bids were received, all from SMEs. Newcastle City Council awarded the contract to LOUIS JAMES SCAFFOLDING LTD on 17 July 2026 for £161,205.50 excluding VAT, or £193,446.60 including VAT. The awarded contract period runs from 24 July 2026 to 31 December 2027. Contract signature was scheduled for 24 July 2026. The award is recorded as active.

This award shows an established requirement for a specialist scaffolding contractor to support a council window replacement programme at Newbiggin Hall. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability in commercial scaffolding work, with enough operational capacity to support planned refurbishment activity over an extended programme. The procurement attracted nine bids, all from small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that the requirement was accessible to specialist smaller contractors rather than limited to major national construction groups. Suppliers should be prepared to compete through an open process and demonstrate both technical quality and competitive pricing, since quality and price were the stated evaluation priorities. Relevant firms are those able to coordinate scaffolding delivery with window replacement works and maintain reliable service throughout the programme.
