UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Newcastle City Council commissioned specialist works at Hotspur Primary School in Newcastle upon Tyne to design, supply and install a sustainable drainage system (SuDS). The project provides below-ground storage for surface water, with the purpose of reducing flood risk within the school site. The requirement falls within drainage construction works and is categorised as construction works rather than a supply-only or consultancy contract. The delivery location is within Newcastle upon Tyne, at the school site. The appointed supplier is Bioscapes Group Limited, a York-based small business. The scope combines design responsibility with physical installation, so relevant businesses would need to deliver an integrated drainage solution and manage works in an operational education environment.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. One lot was completed. Bioscapes Group Limited was appointed, and the contract was signed on 15 July 2026. The contract value is £50,000 excluding VAT and £60,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 27 July 2026 to 1 September 2026. The arrangement is for works, covering specialist SuDS design, supply and installation. The stated procurement route was direct award rather than an open tender, and the contract is below the applicable threshold. The award is recorded as active and the contract as active, while the tender itself is recorded as complete.

This award demonstrates a council requirement for specialist sustainable drainage work that combines technical design, below-ground surface-water storage and construction delivery. Competitors seeking similar work with Newcastle City Council would need credible capability in drainage construction and SuDS, including the ability to translate flood-risk requirements into a practical design, source suitable materials or systems, and complete installation safely on a school site. A strong profile would include experience coordinating design and site works, managing constraints associated with an occupied education setting, and delivering work to the required technical and environmental standards. The appointed supplier is an SME, indicating that a specialist smaller contractor can be suited to this type of requirement when it can provide the necessary design, supply and installation capacity.
