Summary of the contracting process

Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council commissioned construction and refurbishment works at 231 Darlington Lane, Stockton-on-Tees. The property was to be altered so it could operate as an edge-of-care residential setting, supporting the council’s care and education provision for children in the borough. The work followed a detailed design prepared by the council’s design services and was shaped by an assessment of current need, outline proposals and a planned programme of future investment. The procurement covered one construction works requirement, classified under CPV 45000000. The delivery location was Stockton-on-Tees, and the buyer was Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council. The selected supplier, Hobson Smith (Construction) Limited, is a Stockton-on-Tees-based small or medium-sized construction business.

This procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. Tenders were sought from five local small and medium-sized construction companies. Hobson Smith (Construction) Limited received the award on 25 June 2026, and the contract was signed on 25 June 2026. The contract period ran from 29 June 2026 to 2 September 2026. Its value was £253,333 excluding VAT, or £303,999.60 including VAT. The contract was active at the recorded stage. The process had one lot, covering the Darlington Lane alterations and refurbishment works. The published information identifies the procurement route and completed outcome, but does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or award weighting.

This contract indicates demand from Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council for local construction firms able to deliver refurbishment and alteration projects in occupied or operational public-service settings. A credible competitor for similar work would need practical building and construction capability, the capacity to manage a complete property refurbishment, and the experience to work from a detailed client design. Understanding requirements for residential care and education environments would be useful, particularly where suitability, safety and adaptability are central to the project. The procurement also shows that the council has used a below-threshold limited competition involving local SMEs, so businesses seeking comparable work should be able to demonstrate a strong local presence, relevant construction experience and the ability to provide a reliable, coordinated delivery service.
