Summary of the contracting process

Newcastle City Council commissioned the second phase of remediation at Pottery Bank. The works cover demolition, site preparation and clearance, including removing all waste and Japanese knotweed from the site. This is a public-sector works requirement focused on making a previously used or contaminated site safe and clear. The procurement is for a specific remediation project rather than an ongoing general waste-management service. The council is based in Newcastle upon Tyne. The requirement is relevant to demolition contractors, site-clearance businesses, waste-removal operators and specialist invasive-plant contractors able to manage Japanese knotweed alongside wider remediation works. The classification is CPV 45111200, site preparation and clearance work, with demolition, site preparation and clearance also identified under CPV 45111000.

The procurement has been awarded and is recorded as complete. Newcastle City Council used a limited procedure without publishing a prior call for competition, with the direct award justified by extreme urgency, unforeseen circumstances, funding requirements and the time needed to run a tender. The requirement was evaluated on price. The single lot was marked cancelled, although an active award is recorded for A.BUCKLER HAULAGE LIMITED, an SME based in Middlesbrough. The contract value is £260,000 including the recorded currency of GBP. The contract was signed on 31 March 2026. One bid was recorded. The procurement was later described as below the relevant statutory threshold, following an amendment stating that the original publication was in error.

This award provides a clear indication of Newcastle City Council’s demand for substantial, tightly defined remediation and clearance work at Pottery Bank. A credible future competitor would need to combine demolition and site-preparation capability with the practical ability to remove and manage waste and Japanese knotweed safely. The requirement favoured a supplier able to respond to urgent, unforeseen site circumstances and complete the works within funding and programme constraints. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that the work can be delivered by a smaller business with suitable operational capacity rather than only by a major national contractor. Relevant experience should include coordinated site clearance, waste haulage and invasive-species control, with reliable resources for a project of this scale.
