Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council sought the supply, or supply and installation, of steel fabrication products and related metalwork for use in Nottingham. The requirement covered supply-only items such as lintels, together with installed handrails, gates, fencing, railings and similar fabrications. Its main purpose was to provide tenants with mobility needs with handrails and other practical support, delivered professionally and within a reasonable timeframe. The work was classified as construction work and fell within the works category. The requirement was organised as a single lot and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Products and installation were required to comply with relevant British and European industry standards.

The procurement reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition, with electronic submission allowed via EastMidsTenders. Enquiries were due by 21 July 2026 at 12:00 and tenders by 28 July 2026 at 12:00. The initial contract period was 24 August 2026 to 25 August 2028, with two possible 12-month extensions at the council’s discretion, allowing a maximum end date of 23 August 2030. The estimated value was £720,000 excluding VAT (£864,000 including VAT). Evaluation was based on price at 60%, quality at 35% and social value at 5%. The procurement was abandoned before award because CDM design responsibilities were not adequately reflected in the specification and tender documents, and quality evaluation questions required amendment.

This opportunity suited contractors able to manufacture and install fabricated steelwork, and suppliers able to provide fabrication products on a supply-only basis. Relevant capability included producing lintels, handrails, gates, fencing, railings and comparable metalwork, together with the practical installation skills needed for work supporting tenants with mobility needs. Bidders needed to work to applicable British and European industry standards and demonstrate a professional, caring approach to delivery. The evaluation placed substantial emphasis on price, while quality and social value also affected the outcome, so suppliers needed credible delivery methods and evidence of wider community benefit. The council identified the requirement as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs.
