Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Sunderland City Council, a sub-central government public authority, involves the "Old North Pier Repair Works" project. These repairs include filling voids, concrete repair of steps and access points, relocation of rock armour, construction of a sea wall, and repointing works. Located in Sunderland, UK, within the region UKC23, the contracting process has reached the 'Award' stage and was completed as of 22nd May 2026. The tender had a limited competition procurement method, designed for works under a certain threshold. The contract, valued at approximately £519,179.31, was awarded to ARM PIPETEK LTD, a small to medium enterprise based in Durham, starting from 1st June 2026 and concluding by 6th November 2026.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses within the construction and engineering industry, particularly those specialising in marine and pier construction work. Businesses with expertise in storm damage repair, concrete steps, and sea wall construction could find the skills and experience required for such projects align closely with their services, fostering growth and expanding their project portfolios.
