Summary of the contracting process

North Lincolnshire Council procured works to replace the decking at the café of Waters Edge Visitor Centre. This is a building construction requirement focused on removing and installing café decking, rather than the provision of catering or visitor-centre services. The work is associated with the Waters Edge Visitor Centre and its café, serving the council’s local visitor facilities. The procurement was classified under CPV 45210000, covering building construction work. The recorded supplier, Hill Builder, is based in Scunthorpe and is classified as a small or medium-sized enterprise. Businesses considering comparable work for this buyer should therefore focus on practical construction delivery for public visitor sites, including safe working around an operating or public-facing café environment and the ability to complete a decking replacement to the required standard.

The procurement has reached completion and an active award was made to Hill Builder. The contract value is £127,406.50 including the stated GBP currency. The contract was signed on 23 June 2026. The council used a selective restricted procedure under the GPA-covered procurement route. The requirement was arranged as one lot, but that lot is recorded as cancelled while the related award remains active, so the award and lot statuses should be checked carefully in the underlying procurement record. Evaluation used quality and price, weighted at 40% and 60% respectively. One bid was recorded for the lot. There is no stated contract end date or duration in the procurement information. The award is associated with the replacement decking requirement at Waters Edge Visitor Centre.

This award provides a clear benchmark for firms competing for similar North Lincolnshire Council construction work: a focused visitor-facility decking replacement can support a contract of substantial small-business scale, and the buyer selected a local SME. Credible competitors would need practical building and external works capability, experience replacing decking, and the capacity to manage site safety, access and public-facing surroundings at a visitor centre café. The evaluation places greater emphasis on price than quality, but quality still forms a significant part of the decision, so suppliers would need to demonstrate both cost control and a sound delivery method. Evidence of reliable workmanship, relevant construction experience, effective sequencing and proportionate quality assurance would strengthen a future response to this buyer’s comparable requirement.
