UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Northumbria commissioned mechanical and electrical consultancy for the Force Headquarters project. The consultant’s role covers RIBA Stages 5 and 6, reviewing information produced by the contractor team to check that it follows the Force’s brief and meets its technical requirements. This is a building consultancy service supporting the delivery and completion of a police headquarters project, rather than construction work itself. The buying organisation is the Police and Crime Commissioner for Northumbria, based in Newcastle. The work is associated with Northumberland and Tyne and Wear. Businesses relevant to this requirement include mechanical and electrical engineering consultancies, building services advisers and multidisciplinary design teams with experience reviewing contractor design information during later construction and completion stages.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to CAD 21 LIMITED. The award is active and the contract is active. The award date is not recorded, while the contract was signed on 31 July 2026. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027 and has a gross value of £78,000. It is a single-lot services procurement below the relevant threshold, using a procurement method recorded as unknown. The requirement was evaluated as a building consultancy service for the Force Headquarters project, with the appointed consultant responsible for checking the contractor team’s information against the Force’s brief and technical requirements. The contract is for one year and has been awarded to one supplier.

This procurement demonstrates demand from the Police and Crime Commissioner for Northumbria for specialist mechanical and electrical consultancy during the later stages of a major headquarters project. A credible future competitor would need to understand building services design and be able to review contractor-produced information systematically against an employer’s brief and technical requirements. Experience of RIBA Stages 5 and 6 would be directly relevant, including design coordination, technical compliance, construction-stage review and support towards completion. The requirement also suits consultancies that can work closely with contractor teams and a public-sector client, provide clear technical assurance, and maintain sufficient professional capacity through the later project stages. CAD 21 LIMITED, identified as an SME, shows that this type of below-threshold building consultancy can be delivered by a smaller specialist practice.
