Summary of the contracting process

Newcastle City Council is procuring loft insulation, cavity wall insulation and associated construction works for properties in Newcastle upon Tyne. The requirement is a building and energy-efficiency improvement contract, covering the installation of insulation and related works at residential or other properties identified by the council. The buying organisation is Newcastle City Council, a local public authority. Delivery is described as being at properties in Newcastle upon Tyne. This opportunity is relevant to businesses that install loft and cavity wall insulation and can undertake the associated construction work required to complete those measures. The procurement is arranged as one requirement rather than separate lots, so suppliers would be expected to address the full combined scope.

The procurement has reached the tender stage: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It uses one lot, with a gross value of £1,600,000. Questions could be submitted until 17 September 2026 at 12:00, and offers were due by 23 September 2026 at 12:00. Bids may be submitted electronically. The contract period is from 2 November 2026 to 1 November 2028. Evaluation is based on 60% price and 40% quality questions, so suppliers must provide a competitive price as well as satisfactory answers on quality. The requirement is below the applicable threshold and is not divided into multiple work packages.

This opportunity suits insulation contractors and construction businesses with the practical capability to deliver loft and cavity wall insulation together with associated works. Suppliers should be able to manage the complete requirement across properties in Newcastle upon Tyne, rather than offering only an isolated supply item. The single-lot structure points to a need for a contractor, or a capable delivery partnership, able to coordinate the different elements of the work. The contract is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to established local or regional firms as well as larger contractors. Commercial success will depend on combining delivery capability with a strong quality response and competitive pricing.
