Summary of the contracting process

Believe Housing Limited procured Finlock gutter replacement works across County Durham. The requirement covers the removal and replacement of Finlock gutters, associated roofing and flashing materials, guttering work and waterproofing. It is a construction works contract delivered on housing or other properties within the county. The buyer is a public authority and housing organisation based in Seaham. The opportunity is relevant to building contractors, roofing specialists and firms experienced in planned maintenance or external fabric repairs. Businesses able to manage gutter replacement at multiple properties across County Durham, including associated waterproofing and flashing works, would have the closest fit with the requirement.

The procurement has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. SBC Builders Ltd was selected on 14 August 2026 for £567,000 excluding VAT, or £680,400 including VAT. The contract is scheduled to run from 18 September 2026 to 17 September 2027, with an option to extend for up to a further 12 months on two occasions, giving a maximum possible end date of 17 September 2029. There was one lot, marked complete and suitable for SMEs. Eleven bids reached the final stage, including ten from SMEs. Tenders were evaluated using 50% price, 40% quality and 10% social value. A contract signature milestone was scheduled for 17 September 2026.

This award indicates established demand from Believe Housing Limited for substantial Finlock gutter replacement and related external building works in County Durham. A credible future competitor would need practical expertise in guttering, roofing materials, flashing and waterproofing, together with the capacity to deliver a sizeable housing maintenance programme. The requirement was suitable for SMEs and attracted strong SME participation, showing that smaller contractors can compete when they have the necessary delivery capability. Suppliers should be able to present a competitively priced service while demonstrating reliable workmanship, clear quality controls and measurable social value. Experience coordinating works across multiple properties and managing safe, consistent delivery would strengthen a future response to this buyer.
