UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Northumbria procured refurbishment works for the creation of a juvenile wing at Middle Engine Lane Custody Suite. The scope covered installing six replacement cell doors and ten lighting and clock-face panels. This is specialist custodial accommodation work combining secure-door installation with purpose-designed internal lighting and clock panel installation. The buying organisation is a sub-central public authority responsible for policing and crime services in Northumbria. The requirement concerns work at the Middle Engine Lane Custody Suite, with the procurement recorded as taking place in the United Kingdom. Businesses with experience of custody, detention or secure public-sector facilities will find the requirement more relevant than general building contractors, particularly where they can deliver both secure fit-out and specialist panel installation as one works package.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold procedure with the specific method recorded as unknown. It comprised one lot and was evaluated as works. The contract was awarded to Durham Retail Displays Limited on 20 July 2026 and signed on 20 July 2026. The active contract runs from 21 July 2026 to 23 October 2026. Its gross value is £90,645. The award covers the full requirement for six replacement cell doors and ten lighting and clock-face panels. The selected supplier is a North-East England SME. The contract is below the applicable threshold. The procurement therefore records a completed award and an active delivery period, rather than an opportunity for suppliers to submit bids.

This award provides a clear benchmark for suppliers serving custodial estates and secure public buildings. A credible competitor for a future requirement from the Police and Crime Commissioner for Northumbria would need to install replacement cell or custody doors safely, work within an operational custody environment and deliver specialist lighting and clock-face panels. The requirement also indicates value in combining secure-door works with internal fit-out rather than offering only general construction services. Relevant capability may include refurbishment planning, controlled-site working, coordination with the custody-suite operator and delivery of multiple specialist installations within a short works programme. Durham Retail Displays Limited’s selection shows that an SME can satisfy this type of public-sector requirement, so smaller specialist contractors with suitable evidence of comparable secure-environment work may be well placed when similar needs arise.
