Summary of the contracting process

Newcastle City Council intends to appoint an external works contractor to replace windows and doors across the Newbiggin Hall Phase 2 estate in Newcastle upon Tyne. The work covers two areas: East Thorpe and West Thorpe, with properties addressed in two phases. This is a housing refurbishment and construction project involving replacement windows and external doors to residential properties. The council is the public-sector buyer and will use one contractor for the planned works. The procurement is classified as construction work. The published scope identifies 171 properties in East Thorpe and 153 properties in West Thorpe, giving suppliers a clear indication of the type and scale of estate-based replacement programme being considered.

This procurement is at the planning stage: Newcastle City Council has announced its intention to procure, but this is not an invitation to tender. The council expects to use an open competition below the applicable threshold. It intends to tender in September or October 2026. The planned contract period is 5 April 2027 to 30 March 2029, with East Thorpe works in financial year 2027/28 and West Thorpe works in financial year 2028/29. The estimated value is £2.75 million excluding VAT, or £3.3 million including VAT. There is one planned lot covering the full programme. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This will suit building and property refurbishment contractors able to manage a two-year window and door replacement programme across occupied or residential housing stock. Suppliers should be prepared to deliver work in two phases and coordinate activity across 324 properties in East Thorpe and West Thorpe. The requirement is likely to favour contractors with the workforce, site management, surveying, installation and health and safety arrangements needed for a sizeable estate-wide programme. It may also suit specialist window and door replacement firms that can act as the external main contractor, as well as larger construction businesses with relevant housing refurbishment capability. The council has indicated that small and medium-sized enterprises are suitable participants, so smaller firms should monitor the forthcoming competition and prepare their delivery capacity.
