Summary of the contracting process

North Northamptonshire Council is planning refurbishment and redevelopment of 73–75 London Road, Kettering, to create accommodation and support facilities for children’s services. The first and second floors are intended to become four Staying Close apartments, each with a double bedroom, shower room and combined kitchen and living space. The ground floor will become a Care Leavers Hub with a communal lounge, kitchen, dining and games area, employee offices, refurbished toilets, a disabled toilet and shower, one-to-one and consultation rooms, and a sensory room. External works include private garden spaces, car park refurbishment, secure cycle storage, and improved access through new or improved steps and ramps. The work is classified as refurbishment and is intended to support the council’s responsibilities for appropriate accommodation and children’s services.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the council has announced an intention to procure, but has not yet invited tenders. The procurement is planned as one lot, with a planned contract period from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029. The council expects a further notice on 1 September 2026; this is an indicative publication date rather than a deadline for suppliers. The planned lot status is planned. The published procurement information identifies North Northamptonshire Council as the buying organisation and describes the main category as works. The council has not yet set out a tender procedure, submission arrangements, evaluation criteria or contract value in this planning record. Suppliers should therefore treat the current information as an early indication of the project’s scope and expected timing.

The planned work should suit building contractors and refurbishment specialists able to deliver a mixed internal and external redevelopment in an occupied or operationally sensitive public-service setting, including accommodation, communal facilities and specialist rooms. Relevant capability is likely to include general building and fit-out work, kitchen and bathroom installation, office and welfare facilities, accessibility improvements, sensory-room provision, external landscaping, car-park works, cycle storage, and construction of steps and ramps. The project may also suit small and medium-sized enterprises: the single planned lot is explicitly marked as suitable for SMEs. Businesses with experience coordinating varied trades, managing refurbishment projects, and delivering secure, accessible accommodation and community facilities should monitor the procurement’s progression and prepare evidence of comparable work, delivery capacity and quality controls.
