UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Believe Housing Limited procured external layby resurfacing works in County Durham. The requirement was described as “External Layby Works” and covered one lot of works. The procurement record identifies resurfacing as the work involved, but does not provide further detail on the locations, dimensions or technical specification of the laybys. Believe Housing is the buying organisation; the works were for delivery in County Durham, England.

The procurement is complete and a contract has been awarded to Debmat Surfacing Limited. The award was made on 19 August 2026. The contract was signed on 7 September 2026 and runs from 14 September to 27 November 2026. Its value is £70,000 excluding VAT (£84,000 including VAT). The single lot was awarded through below-threshold limited competition, described as a restricted quotation. Three bids were received, all three from SMEs. The process data does not set out the evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

This award demonstrates demand from Believe Housing for external layby resurfacing in County Durham, delivered as a defined works contract through limited competition. A future competitor would need the capacity and practical expertise to undertake surfacing work of this type and complete it within a short, focused delivery period. The successful supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, and all three bidders were SMEs, showing that businesses of this scale participated in the competition. The available procurement details do not establish specific accreditations, technical standards or experience thresholds, so suppliers should not assume that any particular qualification was a condition of this contract.
