UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hartlepool Borough Council commissioned structural strengthening of the art-store flooring at Sir William Gray House so the building can accommodate the council’s art collection. The work is a flooring and building-restoration project, classified as wood flooring work (CPV 45432114). Delivery is in Hartlepool, England. The requirement concerns strengthening existing flooring rather than supplying or installing a general flooring package; suppliers whose work covers assessment and reinforcement of floors in historic or existing buildings are closest to its scope. The council is the buyer and the site is Sir William Gray House.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Historic Property Restoration Limited. The council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, for a single lot. The contract was signed on 7 September 2026 and runs from 14 to 23 October 2026. Its value is £89,000 excluding VAT (£106,800 including VAT). The award is active and the contract is active. The published information gives no separate award date or stated evaluation criteria; the selection was made through the non-competitive direct-award route. The recorded work is the strengthening of the art-store flooring, with the awarded flooring work located in Hartlepool.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible supplier would need to deliver structural floor strengthening in an existing property and demonstrate that the reinforced floor can support the intended use of a stored art collection. Experience in building restoration and wood flooring work is directly relevant, particularly where the site must remain suited to the preservation and storage of valuable collections. This contract shows Hartlepool Borough Council has bought a focused works package through a below-threshold direct award, rather than an openly competed multi-lot project. A competitor should therefore be able to present a clear, technically suitable approach to assessing and strengthening the floor, with the specialist restoration capability to carry out the works in a defined site-based package. The selected supplier was a small or medium-sized business.
