UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Believe Housing Limited procured external layby works, specifically resurfacing works, for its housing operations. The requirement falls within the construction and civil engineering sector and involves improving or renewing external layby surfaces. Delivery is in County Durham, serving the area covered by Believe Housing’s procurement. This is a works contract rather than a supply or consultancy opportunity, so relevant businesses are contractors able to plan and carry out surfacing activity on housing-related external areas. The named buyer is Believe Housing Limited, a sub-central public authority based in Seaham. The requirement was arranged as a single package covering the external layby works rather than being divided into multiple lots or service categories.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition using a restricted quotation route. Three bids were received, including three from SMEs. The contract was awarded to Debmat Surfacing Limited on 19 August 2026. The awarded value is £70,000 excluding VAT and £84,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 27 November 2026, with signature scheduled by 4 September 2026. The award is active and relates to one completed lot. The published information identifies the requirement as resurfacing works, but does not set out a separate scored evaluation breakdown or detailed eligibility requirements. Debmat Surfacing Limited, based in Ryton, is the selected supplier.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist surfacing capacity from a housing provider operating in County Durham. A credible competitor for similar work would need practical experience delivering external resurfacing or associated civil engineering works, with the plant, labour and project management needed to complete a discrete works package safely and to programme. The competition attracted three bids, all from SMEs, indicating that smaller specialist contractors can compete through this buyer’s limited-competition quotation route. Relevant businesses should be able to present clear evidence of completed surfacing projects, dependable delivery arrangements and the capacity to work on housing-related sites. Firms serving County Durham and nearby areas may be particularly well placed because the awarded supplier operates from Ryton.
