Summary of the contracting process

Northumberland County Council procured construction works at Linton Primary School, Linton, Morpeth, Northumberland. The project involved internal alterations to the existing school to create a new special educational needs (SEN) classroom, sensory space and changing room with WC facilities. It also included mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) upgrades and external works. The procurement was categorised as construction work and the main category was works. Delivery was at Linton Primary School, NE61 5SG. This requirement would suit building contractors with experience of working in or around operational schools, carrying out internal refurbishments and coordinating building services and external works. The project also required sensitivity to specialist educational environments and spaces designed for pupils with additional needs.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to C.L.C. CONTRACTORS LIMITED. Northumberland County Council used an below-threshold open competition. The estimated value was £150,000 excluding VAT (£180,000 including VAT), and the tender deadline was 26 May 2026 at 12:00; enquiries closed on 15 May 2026 at 15:00. The award was made on 6 August 2026. The awarded contract value is £143,575.38 excluding VAT (£172,290.13 including VAT), signed on 6 August 2026, with a contract period from 6 August to 6 October 2026. The procurement comprised one lot, marked suitable for SMEs. Evaluation was based on 70% price and 30% quality. The tender period was extended by an amendment.

This completed award provides a useful benchmark for contractors targeting Northumberland County Council’s school refurbishment requirements. A credible competitor would need to deliver coordinated construction works in an existing primary-school setting, including internal reconfiguration, specialist SEN accommodation, sensory facilities, accessible changing and WC provision, MEP upgrades and external works. Experience of sequencing work safely around education environments, managing disruption, and coordinating multiple trades would be commercially relevant. The evaluation weighting shows that competitive pricing was particularly important, while quality still formed a substantial part of the assessment. The lot was identified as suitable for SMEs, indicating that appropriately capable smaller or mid-sized contractors could compete, either directly or through a suitable delivery arrangement. Relevant experience should cover public-sector or education refurbishments and reliable short-duration project delivery.
