Summary of the contracting process

Middlesbrough Council has completed the procurement process for the project titled "ECC024 - Statue Repair," intended to address urgent repairs of the Brian Clough statue. Operating under the industry category of repair and maintenance services, the contract was executed through a direct procurement method below the competitive threshold. The process encompasses services in the UKC12 region of the United Kingdom, with ST. ASTIER LIMITED, based in Seaham, appointed as the supplier. Significant dates include the contract signing on 11th May 2026 and its active period from 18th May 2026 to 5th May 2028.

This procurement offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in public sector repair and maintenance, particularly those able to provide services directly and efficiently due to the project's nature and urgency. Companies within this sector, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with capabilities in statue repair and maintenance, stand to benefit from similar future projects where non-competitive, direct procurement methods are employed. Such opportunities are well-suited for SMEs like ST. ASTIER LIMITED, who can offer prompt, reliable solutions in targeted region-specific projects.
