Summary of the contracting process

Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council commissioned construction works at Northfield School in Stockton-on-Tees. The project is the infilling of an existing courtyard to create a dedicated toilet block for Year 11 students. It provides 23 additional toilets, including two ambulant toilets and one unisex accessible toilet. The purpose is to increase toilet capacity, reduce pressure on existing facilities, improve safeguarding and support better behaviour management during unstructured school times. The work is building construction (CPV 45210000), requiring a contractor able to deliver a new school toilet facility within an existing school environment. The council is the public-sector buyer and the work is located at Northfield School in the Stockton-on-Tees area.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. It covered one lot. Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council awarded the works to Brims Construction Limited, an SME, and the contract was signed on 18 June 2026. The contract period runs from 18 June 2026 to 7 December 2026. Its value is £567,318.31 excluding VAT, or £680,781.97 including VAT. The selected supplier is responsible for the building construction works for the courtyard infill and toilet block. The award is active and the contract is active, so this records an awarded requirement rather than a procurement seeking further bids.

This procurement is useful market evidence for construction contractors that deliver school building projects, particularly new or refurbished welfare facilities within occupied or operational education settings. A credible competitor for a future requirement from this council would need to demonstrate the capacity to manage a substantial building project, convert an existing courtyard into usable accommodation, and deliver multiple standard, ambulant and accessible toilet facilities. Experience of working around school users, maintaining safe access and managing safeguarding-sensitive environments would be commercially relevant to this type of project. The award to an SME shows that the requirement was within the delivery scale of an established small or medium-sized construction business, rather than being limited to a major national contractor.
