Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by Gateshead Borough Council involved a direct award for the "Supply of Kitchens" under the goods category, focusing specifically on kitchen furniture and equipment. This process was carried out without prior publication of a call for competition, deemed outside the scope of the directive with a limited procurement method. The contract, valued at £464,253.50, was officially signed on 29th January 2026. The related delivery location is in the UKC2 region. The procurement has reached the award stage, with Howdens Joinery PLC being the successful supplier. The entire process is detailed through a tag-oriented schema under the award and contract categories.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in the supply of kitchen furnishings, particularly those capable of fulfilling orders through direct awards via compliant frameworks. Notably, large suppliers like Howdens Joinery PLC, which has the resources and capacity to supply full kitchens and spares effectively, would find this type of procurement particularly advantageous. Business growth can be achieved here by leveraging direct supply chains to regional or local authorities, such as Gateshead Borough Council, further enhancing market presence and securing substantial contracts.
