UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sunderland City Council commissioned remedial demolition and site-safety works at 37 Villiers Street. The requirement was to address a dangerous structure by demolishing unstable sections to a safe height, removing unsafe structural elements, making the site safe for investigators and members of the public, and facilitating police access to search the premises and continue their investigation. This is a construction and demolition requirement, including site preparation and clearance work (CPV 45111000). The work is located in Sunderland, within the council’s area. The scope is focused on urgent structural remediation and controlled clearance rather than general building maintenance or a new construction project. Suppliers suited to this type of work would need to operate safely around an unstable structure and an active investigation site.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. One lot was awarded to BIRCH TREE NORTHERN LIMITED. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026 and is active, with a contract period from 6 July 2026 to 24 July 2026. Its value is £43,390.25 excluding VAT, or £52,068 including VAT. Sunderland City Council selected the supplier for the remedial works at Villiers Street. The recorded evaluation route was a direct award rather than a competitive tender, so the outcome reflects the council’s use of a below-threshold procurement without competition. The requirement covered demolition and associated measures needed to secure the structure, premises and surrounding public access.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear indication of Sunderland City Council’s demand for specialist remedial demolition and emergency structural-safety work. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need practical capability in demolishing unstable structures in a controlled manner, removing dangerous structural elements and leaving sites safe for the public and professional investigators. Experience of working on constrained or hazardous premises, coordinating access with police or other investigators, and managing site preparation and clearance would be relevant. Suppliers would also need the operational capacity to mobilise and complete a focused works package within a short delivery window, while maintaining clear control of public safety, exclusion areas, debris and access arrangements.
