Summary of the contracting process

Newcastle City Council is procuring the supply and fitting of timber fencing, including associated fencing erection, repair and maintenance services. The work is classified primarily as a service requirement and is to be delivered in Newcastle upon Tyne. The requirement covers both the provision of timber fencing materials and the practical installation work needed to complete fencing projects. It may suit fencing contractors, building and grounds-maintenance businesses, and suppliers with the resources to provide materials alongside installation and subsequent repair or maintenance. The opportunity is being procured by Newcastle City Council for its own requirements, with the work located within the council’s area.

The buyer has invited offers through an open procedure. The tender deadline is 14 September 2026 at 10:00, and the planned award decision date is 27 October 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2028, with two possible 12-month extensions, giving a latest end date of 31 October 2030. The estimated value is £8,000,000 excluding VAT and £9,600,000 including VAT. Quality accounts for 40% of the evaluation and price for 60%. Electronic submissions are allowed and bids must be in English. The requirement is arranged as one lot and involves a closed framework with up to four participants; later competitions may reopen competition among them.

This opportunity suits SMEs as well as larger fencing and maintenance contractors. Suppliers should be able to source and supply timber fencing, carry out safe and reliable installation, and provide repair and maintenance services when required. Strong practical experience in fencing erection and associated maintenance will be relevant, alongside the workforce, tools, transport and operational capacity to undertake work across Newcastle upon Tyne. The requirement is particularly suited to businesses that can manage both materials supply and on-site delivery rather than offering only one element. Contractors able to respond to later competitions within a framework, price work competitively and maintain consistent quality are well placed to compete.
