Summary of the contracting process

North Norfolk District Council is procuring refurbishment works at Rocket House in Cromer. The requirement covers internal refurbishment, external repair and redecoration of rendered elevations, installation of a tanking system, and associated mechanical and electrical works. This is a building refurbishment and repair contract, classified under CPV 45453100. The council is the buyer, with Public Sector Partnership Services Ltd facilitating the procurement process. Delivery is in Cromer, North Norfolk. The opportunity is therefore relevant to principal building contractors and refurbishment specialists able to manage a mixed internal and external works package, coordinate building services, and deliver repairs and redecoration to an existing public building. Mechanical and electrical capability, whether in-house or through managed specialist provision, will also be relevant to the required scope.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through an open, below-threshold competition. Clarification questions were due by 24 July 2026 at 12:00, and tender submissions were due by 7 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The estimated value is £680,000 excluding VAT, or £816,000 including VAT. There is one lot. Offers are evaluated on 60% quality and 40% price, with full details in the invitation to tender. Participation conditions are set out in that document. Electronic submission is permitted through the PSPS electronic tendering portal, which is also used for clarification questions and tender returns. The published deadline was extended by one week to 7 August 2026.

This opportunity suits a suitably qualified building contractor with experience delivering refurbishment and repair works in an existing public or commercial building. Relevant capability includes internal refurbishment, repair and redecoration of rendered external elevations, tanking or waterproofing systems, and the coordination or delivery of mechanical and electrical works. The contract requires a contractor able to manage several interdependent workstreams and complete them within a defined delivery programme. Quality carries greater weight than price in evaluation, so bidders should be able to demonstrate a credible method of working, technical competence, risk management and reliable project delivery. The requirement is explicitly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it potentially relevant to an SME principal contractor or a specialist refurbishment business able to assemble and manage the necessary building-services expertise.
