Summary of the contracting process

Hartlepool College of Further Education procured the redesign and relocation of its reception area at the college in Hartlepool. The works include designing and building the new reception area, supplying the required materials and incorporating speed lanes. This is a building construction project, covering the physical alteration and fit-out of an operational further-education college reception facility. The buyer is Hartlepool College of Further Education. The requirement was previously tendered through a CPC work dynamic purchasing system under the earlier regulations, but received no responses, before this procurement route was used.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected. Hartlepool College of Further Education used a below-threshold direct award without competition. The single lot was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. McCarrick Construction Company Limited was selected as supplier; the recorded award value is £86,400 excluding VAT and £103,680 including VAT. The award outcome was recorded on 6 August 2026. The contract period is from 24 August 2026 to 31 August 2027, with signature scheduled for 24 August 2026. Evaluation was conducted through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, so no weighted award criteria are stated.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Hartlepool College of Further Education for specialist building and refurbishment contractors able to manage a reception relocation from design through construction and materials supply. A credible future competitor would need to coordinate design and build activities, deliver work within a live college environment and incorporate features such as speed lanes into the completed reception layout. The requirement was suitable for an SME, indicating that a smaller construction business with the necessary project management, site delivery and fit-out capacity could be relevant. Experience in education, public-sector or occupied-building refurbishment would help demonstrate an ability to control disruption and deliver an integrated reception project.
