Summary of the contracting process

Hartlepool Development Corporation is procuring a commercial property management service for Middleton Grange Shopping Centre in Hartlepool. The requirement covers management of the shopping centre’s commercial property, together with building and facilities management services. The work is delivered in Hartlepool, within the wider Tees Valley area. This is a services contract for a property manager responsible for the effective operation and management of the centre. The main classification is commercial property management services (CPV 70332200), with related building and facilities management activities. The procurement is arranged as one lot and is intended for suppliers whose service offering combines property management with facilities management for a major shopping-centre environment.

The procurement has reached tender: Hartlepool Development Corporation invited offers through an open procedure. Enquiries had to be submitted by 9 October 2026 at 17:00, and tenders by 15 October 2026 at 17:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 December 2026 to 1 December 2029. Its estimated value is £690,000 excluding VAT, or £828,000 including VAT. Evaluation is weighted 55% for quality, 25% for price and 20% for social value. The procurement is above the relevant threshold, and electronic submission in English is allowed. The award decision is due by 5 November 2026. Bidders should use the specified electronic response route for submissions.

This opportunity suits commercial property managers and facilities management providers with the capability to manage a shopping centre as an integrated property and operational service. Relevant businesses are likely to have experience overseeing commercial premises, coordinating building and facilities services, and maintaining reliable day-to-day operations for tenants, visitors and the asset owner. The requirement also favours suppliers able to demonstrate a strong quality-led service model, since quality carries more weight than price in evaluation. Social value accounts for a further 20%, so bidders should be able to deliver and evidence wider community or social benefits alongside the core service. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable, making the opportunity accessible to capable specialist firms as well as larger providers.
