Summary of the contracting process

Northumberland County Council is procuring construction works for a ground-floor adapted living cloakroom and WC at a semi-detached home on Leaholme Crescent, Blyth, Northumberland. The facility will be built off the existing living room to meet the physical needs of the current tenant. The property will remain occupied and operational as a family home while the work is carried out, so the requirement involves delivering building and adaptation works in a domestic setting rather than an empty development site. The tenant is vulnerable, and the works must be planned and delivered with this consideration at the forefront. This is a small residential construction and accessibility-adaptation project for contractors able to work sensitively in an occupied property.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 30 September 2026 at 17:00, and bids by 6 October 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission is allowed. The contract is expected to run from 1 November 2026 to 24 January 2027, a 14-week period, with contractors required to start on site in November and complete within the designated timescales. The estimated value is £40,000 excluding VAT, or £48,000 including VAT. There is one lot, and the award decision is based on price weighted at 60% and quality at 40%.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized construction contractors with the practical ability to deliver a bespoke ground-floor bathroom or cloakroom adaptation in an occupied family home. Strong candidates will be able to coordinate construction activities around an existing household, protect the tenant and property, and plan work with the needs of a vulnerable resident at the forefront. The requirement also favours contractors with sufficient site management, labour and subcontractor capacity to mobilise promptly and complete a compact residential project within the council’s specified programme. Businesses experienced in domestic alterations, accessible living adaptations, careful site working and quality-focused delivery should find the scope commercially relevant.
