Summary of the contracting process

The Stockton on Tees Borough Council has completed a public procurement process for repair works on the west boundary wall at St Cuthbert's Churchyard. The tender was managed through a direct award method without competition due to pressing concerns over the stability and security risks posed to the adjacent public highway and churchyard grounds. This project, categorised under "works" with specific emphasis on ground-stabilisation, was awarded to St Astier Limited, a small to medium-sized enterprise based in Seaham, Co Durham. The contract, valued at £127,984, commenced on 5th May 2026 and is scheduled for completion by 29th May 2026. The procurement, conducted under the legal framework of UK Public General Acts, is indicative of a swift response to urgent infrastructural needs, ideally fitting the sub-central government scope of operations in the UKC11 region.

This procurement presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in infrastructure remediation and stabilisation, particularly those adept at swift and effective response under non-competitive, direct award scenarios. Small to medium-sized enterprises with expertise in public works and possessing flexibility to operate within tight deadlines are well-positioned to benefit from such tenders. Collaborating with local governance like Stockton on Tees Borough Council can enhance a firm’s reputation within public sector projects, paving the way for future tenders requiring robust ground-stabilisation and repair expertise. The partnership with St Astier Limited underscores the council's inclination towards leveraging local talent in specialised fields.
