Summary of the contracting process

Middlesbrough Council procured construction and refurbishment works to convert an existing unit formerly used as Berwick Hills Library into a Locality HUB for joint council services. The scope covers stripping out and fully refurbishing the building, installing new internal finishes, carrying out new mechanical and electrical services, and completing associated external works. The work is at Berwick Hills in Middlesbrough. This is a building conversion and fit-out project rather than the supply of standalone goods or routine facilities services. The procurement concerns one completed package of works, covering the refurbishment and adaptation of the former library premises for continued public-sector service delivery.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Middlesbrough Council used a below-threshold limited competition. The single works package was awarded to TOM WILLOUGHBY LIMITED. The contract was signed on 3 August 2026 and is active, with a contract period from 3 August 2026 to 15 December 2026. Its value is £985,998.98 excluding VAT, or £1,183,198.77 including VAT. The award covers the full conversion and refurbishment works at Berwick Hills Library. The available record identifies one completed lot and an active award to the selected supplier; it does not provide a separate award date or published evaluation weighting.

This award is relevant to building contractors and principal contractors able to deliver refurbishment and conversion projects in occupied or previously public-use premises. A credible competitor for this buyer would need to coordinate strip-out, internal finishes, mechanical and electrical installation, and external works as one integrated package. Experience managing several construction disciplines, sequencing works across an existing building, controlling subcontractors and delivering to a fixed completion requirement would be commercially important. The selected supplier, TOM WILLOUGHBY LIMITED, is recorded as an SME, showing that the requirement was delivered by a smaller construction business rather than only a major national contractor. Firms with comparable public-building refurbishment capability should monitor this buyer’s future requirements in this area.
