Summary of the contracting process

Newcastle City Council procured flooring works for low- to mid-rise communal areas. The requirement covers the supply and fitting of flooring in shared stairs, landings and lobbies. It is a construction and floor-covering service rather than a supply-only purchase, requiring a contractor able to provide flooring materials and install them in occupied or shared residential-style buildings. The procurement is associated with floor-covering work (CPV 45432130). The buyer is Newcastle City Council, a local public authority. The work relates to the council’s communal areas, with the contracting authority based in Newcastle upon Tyne. The requirement is presented as a single package covering the described flooring works rather than separate lots for different buildings, locations or activities.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It comprised one lot and received two bids, both from small and medium-sized enterprises. The award was made on 9 September 2026 to NEWCASTLE FLOORING COMPANY LIMITED. The award value is £42,528 excluding VAT, or £51,033 including VAT. The contract period runs from 23 September 2026 to 18 November 2026, with signature scheduled by 16 September 2026. The award is recorded as active and the tender as complete. The published data identifies the procurement route and outcome, but does not set out separate quality, price or technical weightings; the competition was evaluated through the buyer’s limited-competition process.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for contractors that can supply and install flooring across communal areas in low- to mid-rise buildings, including stairs, landings and lobbies. A credible competitor for similar council work would need practical flooring installation capability, suitable materials, and the ability to coordinate work across shared areas while delivering a finished installation rather than simply supplying products. The successful market included an SME, and both final-stage bidders were SMEs, indicating that the scale and route can suit smaller specialist flooring businesses. Relevant firms would be those with demonstrable experience of comparable communal or residential flooring works, reliable installation teams, and the operational discipline to complete multiple shared-area tasks to the council’s required standard.
