UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northumberland County Council is procuring a managing agent for Sea Lodge and Ocean View, independent supported living properties at Cresswell in Northumberland. The requirement combines housing management with property maintenance carried out on the Council’s behalf. The work falls within housing services, building installation repair and maintenance, and facilities management. It is therefore suited to organisations able to manage supported or independent living accommodation while coordinating routine property upkeep and repairs. The appointed provider will be responsible for delivering both service elements across the properties, rather than supplying a single standalone maintenance service. The buying organisation is Northumberland County Council, a public authority based in Morpeth.

The process has reached tender: the Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries were due by 6 August 2026 at 23:59, and tenders were due by 13 August 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission was allowed, with tender documents accessed through the OPEN portal. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 September 2026 to 29 August 2027, with an option to extend by two further 12-month periods, up to 29 August 2029. The estimated value is £100,000 excluding VAT, or £120,000 including VAT. There is one lot. Offers are evaluated on price, weighted at 60%, and quality, weighted at 40%.

This opportunity suits a managing agent, housing provider, facilities management company or property maintenance organisation able to combine accommodation management with practical building services. Strong candidates will need the operational capability to manage independent supported living properties, respond to maintenance requirements and coordinate repairs safely and reliably. Relevant housing management experience and a track record of maintaining residential or supported living buildings would be directly applicable. The requirement also favours suppliers with sufficient staffing, contractor coordination and administrative capacity to provide an ongoing service across both properties. Organisations offering only general repairs, without housing management capability, are less closely aligned with the full scope.
