Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sunderland City Council procured construction and refurbishment works under the title “Register Buildings”. The requirement covered refurbishment of retail units and external façade works, making this a building contractor opportunity rather than a supply or consultancy contract. The work was intended for delivery in Sunderland. It was classified as construction work for buildings associated with leisure, sports, culture, lodging and restaurants. The council was the buying organisation. The requirement was arranged as a single package, covering both the retail-unit refurbishment and external façade elements. It therefore suits contractors able to manage building refurbishment and external envelope works as a coordinated project for a local authority client.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Brims Construction Limited. The contract was signed on 4 August 2026 for £1,197,313.97 including the published currency of GBP. The procurement used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, through a mini-competition under the NEPO207 Construction Works Framework, Lot 3 covering Northumberland, Tyne and Wear and Durham, with an estimated framework band of £1 million to £3 million. The lot status is recorded as cancelled, while the award and contract are active. Three electronic bids were received, all from SMEs. Evaluation placed 60% on price and 40% on quality: technical ability, programme, health and safety, site methodology and social value.

This award indicates demand from Sunderland City Council for SME-capable building contractors delivering retail-unit refurbishment and external façade works at a seven-figure project scale. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable technical ability to deliver comparable refurbishment and envelope projects, with evidence of planning and controlling a programme of works. Strong health-and-safety management and a practical, site-specific methodology were explicit quality considerations. Social value commitments also formed part of the assessment, so suppliers would need to show how they create local or wider community benefit alongside construction delivery. The route shows the importance of access to, and successful competition through, the NEPO207 Construction Works Framework for this regional market.
