Summary of the contracting process

Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council commissioned building works for a residential extension under its Disabled Facilities Grant programme, identified as DFG Extension 220267. The requirement is classified as construction work for multi-dwelling buildings and individual houses. It concerns one residential extension rather than a broad programme of housing construction. The recorded delivery area is the council’s Stockton-on-Tees area in the North East of England. The council is the buyer and Liveco Ltd, a Sunderland-based small or medium-sized enterprise, is the selected supplier. The work is therefore relevant to builders and construction contractors able to deliver residential extensions and related building works for local authorities, particularly firms operating in or serving the wider North East. The procurement’s stated rationale was to approach specific local suppliers because of the works’ requirements.

The procurement has reached completion: an active award was made to Liveco Ltd, and the associated contract is active. The contract was signed on 27 July 2026 for £46,216.50. The procedure was a limited award without prior publication of a call for competition, described as a below-threshold tender to specific local suppliers. The sole lot used price as its award criterion. Two bids were received; both were from SMEs and both were submitted electronically. The underlying tender record marks the single lot as cancelled, although the award and contract records show an active supplier and contract. No contract duration or award date is recorded. The process was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement and used a below-threshold route outside the relevant directive’s scope.

This procurement demonstrates local-authority demand for relatively small, self-contained residential extension projects delivered by construction SMEs. A credible competitor for similar work would need practical experience in residential building extensions, including the coordination and completion of construction work for individual homes or multi-dwelling properties. The requirement was channelled through a limited procedure aimed at specific local suppliers, so a strong local presence or established delivery capability in the North East would be commercially relevant. The result also shows that an SME was able to secure the work and that price was decisive in evaluation. Suppliers should therefore be able to demonstrate competitive pricing, reliable delivery, suitable construction capacity and experience working to a council’s requirements, particularly for grant-funded residential adaptations or extensions.
