Summary of the contracting process

Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council commissioned a framework for metalwork and mechanical roller-shutter work across Redcar and Cleveland. It covers highway-related metalwork, including assembling and installing metal structures; maintenance and installation of roller shutters; and ornate metalwork. The work is divided into three service areas, with the framework intended to provide a route for the council to call on suppliers for these requirements. The roller-shutter element includes both maintenance and installation, while the metalwork elements include structural and decorative work. The council is the buyer, and the appointed suppliers are based in the local area. This is a works opportunity focused on fabrication, installation and maintenance rather than the supply of metal products alone.

The procurement is complete: suppliers were selected and the contracts were signed on 27 April 2026. The council used a below-threshold limited competition to establish a closed framework. For highway-related metalwork, Melttmett Infinity Group, Steel River Fabrications Ltd and Marske Fabrication & Engineering Ltd were appointed. Farrell Fabrications Ltd was appointed for roller-shutter maintenance and installation. Steel River Fabrications Ltd and Marske Fabrication & Engineering Ltd were appointed for ornate metalwork. Each contract is valued at £600,000 excluding VAT (£720,000 including VAT). Each runs from 11 May 2026 to 10 May 2028, with extensions potentially taking the period to 10 May 2030. Extensions are at the council’s discretion and depend on satisfactory performance, continuing need and funding. The framework allows both further competition and awards without reopening competition, depending on the workstream.

For suppliers who did not secure a place, this award indicates recurring council demand for practical metal fabrication and installation, highway-related metalwork, decorative metalwork, and mechanical roller-shutter maintenance. A credible future competitor would need to show it can deliver the relevant type of work reliably, whether that means assembling and installing metal structures, maintaining and fitting shutters, or producing and installing ornate metalwork. The buyer used a framework with different routes for allocating work: some requirements may be ranked or awarded to a sole supplier, while others may be competed further among framework suppliers. This favours businesses able to respond to individual work packages as well as perform the underlying trade work. The selected suppliers include local small and medium-sized businesses, showing that firms of that scale have competed successfully for this requirement.
