Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process, initiated by Middlesbrough Council, pertains to the facilitative works at Captain Cook Square, specifically for Units 4/4a and Unit 8. The industry category is construction, and the project location is Middlesbrough in the UK. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract having been signed on 20th April 2026, with the works underway from 24th April 2026 to 31st July 2026. The procurement method utilised was direct, below the threshold, without competition, owing to existing engagements with the contractor. The involved parties are Middlesbrough Council as the buyer and Hobson Smith (Construction) Limited as the supplier.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for construction firms, particularly SMEs familiar with public sector contracts and sub-central government projects. For businesses specialising in construction or related fields, the ability to effectively manage site works and engage in projects without requiring additional setups or extensive labour may extend their market reach and increase profitability through economies of scale. Companies already operating within the UK region, possessing the necessary expertise in construction works, are ideally positioned to benefit from similar future opportunities with Middlesbrough Council and similar local authorities.

Notice Title

RH011 - Facilitative Works to Unit 4/4a and Unit 8 - Captain Cook Square

Notice Description

Hobsons are currently procured on Broadcasting House for works to relocate the Homeless Hub from Middlesbrough House to Broadcasting House. Previously Hobsons has carried out a series of works on Captain Cook Square (much of it related to original strip outs from when the Council purchased the site in 2020) and are familiar with the site, and individual units. Having had initial discussions with Hobsons, there is an opportunity for them to undertake a host of works, without having to have a welfare facility on site/obtaining a whole new project team. It is possible for them to undertake both site works with existing overall labour, without impacting on the Broadcasting House project. It also offers some economies of scale and saves set up costs - for the works proposed for Captain Cook Square. This therefore provides greater value for money, for the Council, in this instance.
