UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Middlesbrough Council procured fencing repair services for Newham Grange Farm in Middlesbrough. The work concerns repairing farm fencing so that cattle remain secure within their paddock, supporting animal welfare, protecting visitors and maintaining public access to the farm. The requirement also protects the farm’s income and the council’s reputation by reducing the risk of animals escaping onto nearby roads. This is a services procurement focused on repair and maintenance, rather than new construction or general grounds maintenance. The council is the buyer and the delivery location is Middlesbrough. The requirement is relevant to contractors providing fencing repairs, agricultural fencing, farm infrastructure maintenance or related rural property repair services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. One lot was awarded to ADAMSKI BROS. GROUNDCARE LTD, an SME, and the award is active. The contract was signed on 21 July 2026 and runs from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2028. Its value is £33,333.33 excluding VAT, or £40,000 including VAT. The stated evaluation basis is reflected in the direct award route rather than a competitive tender. The contract covers repair and maintenance services for the farm fencing. The procurement was treated as an emergency because unrepaired fencing could affect animal welfare, visitor numbers, income, animal security and public safety.

This award indicates a council requirement for practical fencing repair capability in an operational farm and visitor-attraction setting. A credible future competitor would need to diagnose and repair damaged agricultural fencing, secure livestock paddocks and work safely where animals, members of the public and nearby roads may be affected. Relevant experience would include farm, estate, rural-site or public-sector fencing maintenance, with the capacity to respond to urgent repairs and maintain secure boundaries over a continuing service period. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist small business rather than only a major contractor. Firms combining fencing skills with groundcare or wider rural property maintenance may therefore be well placed when this buyer next reviews a similar need.
