Summary of the contracting process

Teignbridge District Council is procuring building refurbishment and alteration works to convert Harewood House, an empty former bed and breakfast, into accommodation complying with house in multiple occupation (HMO) standards. The scope includes creating two ensuite bedrooms, installing fireproofing measures, improving acoustic performance and decorating the property. The works also cover wider building completion and multi-dwelling building construction activities, supported by an asbestos survey, structural reports, drainage report, drawings, preliminaries specification and schedule of works. Delivery is in Devon, for Teignbridge District Council, based at Forde House in Newton Abbot. This is a single works requirement for a property conversion and refurbishment contractor, principal contractor or suitably experienced building company.

The procurement reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition, with electronic submission allowed through Supplying the South West. The enquiry deadline set by the buyer was 2 September 2026 at 00:00, and the tender submission deadline was 11 September 2026 at 00:00. The contract period is from 2 November 2026 to 1 April 2028. The published value is £1 gross, including VAT, in GBP. There is one lot. Offers will be evaluated equally on price and quality, with each carrying a 50% weighting. Participation is reserved to suppliers based within Devon under the stated local-area requirement. The opportunity is identified as below threshold.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized building and refurbishment businesses established in Devon. Suppliers should be able to manage a residential property conversion and deliver the practical requirements of HMO refurbishment, including forming ensuite bedrooms, fire protection, acoustic improvement, decoration and associated building completion works. Relevant capability in coordinating work covered by structural, drainage and asbestos information would be important, as would the capacity to undertake a substantial programme running from late 2026 into spring 2028. Contractors with experience of multi-dwelling buildings, building alterations, refurbishment and compliance-led residential upgrades are well placed to compete. The equal price-and-quality evaluation means bidders need to demonstrate both a competitive commercial offer and a credible approach to delivering the specified works.
