Summary of the contracting process

West Northamptonshire Council procured refurbishment works at the Royal and Derngate Theatre in Northampton. The scope covers parts of the theatre’s roof, fenestration and photovoltaic (PV) installation, including associated roof and specialist trade construction works. The work is in a live, busy building, requiring measures to protect the public and building users. Some areas are Grade II listed, so the works must meet the specification and the requirements of the relevant authorities. The procurement is for construction works, including refurbishment, rather than routine maintenance or supply of materials alone. Delivery is centred on the theatre in Northampton, with participation limited to organisations based in Northampton or the bordering counties, or with an established substantive business operation there. West Northamptonshire Council is the buying organisation.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to MYC Group (UK) Ltd. It used a below-threshold open competition, evaluated on 60% price and 40% quality. The tender deadline was 3 July 2026 at 12:00. The estimated tender value was £1,000,000 excluding VAT and £1,200,000 including VAT. The contract was signed on 4 August 2026 and has a gross value of £1,503,243. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 January 2027. The tender required bidders to have annual turnover of at least £2,000,000 and to be capable of acting as Principal Contractor under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 and the Building Safety Act. Electronic submission was allowed through the council’s e-procurement portal.

This procurement indicates demand from West Northamptonshire Council for substantial, specialist refurbishment in operational public buildings, combining roofing, fenestration and PV installation. A credible future competitor would need experience coordinating multiple building-envelope and energy-installation disciplines while maintaining safe public access and protecting occupants in a busy live site. Capability to work on Grade II listed buildings is important, including demonstrated understanding of conservation requirements, authority approvals and specification compliance. Suppliers would need the organisational capacity and financial standing to meet the £2 million annual turnover threshold, and the competence to take legal responsibility as Principal Contractor under CDM 2015 and the Building Safety Act. Local presence in Northampton or a bordering county, or an established substantive operation there, is also a material qualification requirement.
