Summary of the contracting process

The North Yorkshire Council procured an interim replacement kitchen contract to deal with priority cases while a permanent contractor appointment was pending. The work is the installation of fitted kitchens, classified under CPV 45421151, and falls within the construction and building installation sector. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The contracting authority is The North Yorkshire Council, based at County Hall in Northallerton. This requirement is focused on practical kitchen replacement and installation rather than general building maintenance or a broad facilities management service. It will suit businesses able to provide fitted-kitchen installation services for urgent or priority housing-related cases and to work for a local authority.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to HOME UTILITY GROUP LIMITED, a Leeds-based SME. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under a single lot. The contract was signed on 19 June 2026 and runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 October 2026. Its value is £208,333.33 excluding VAT, or £250,000 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The published procurement description says the arrangement is an interim measure for priority cases while a permanent contractor appointment was pending. The evaluation basis was therefore the authority’s direct-award decision rather than a competitive tender with scored bids.

This procurement shows demand from North Yorkshire Council for fitted-kitchen installation delivered as an interim service for priority cases. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need practical experience installing fitted kitchens, sufficient installation capacity to respond to priority work, and the ability to manage delivery for a public authority. The requirement may suit an SME with an established installation workforce, reliable supply and fitting arrangements, and experience coordinating individual replacement jobs. The direct-award route used here also shows that the council may need an established provider able to take on urgent interim work without a full competitive process, although this procurement itself is not available for bidding.
