Summary of the contracting process

Newcastle City Council intends to procure external support to supply and fit bathrooms. This is a bathroom installation service, classified under repair and maintenance services. The requirement is associated with a single lot and is intended for delivery in Newcastle upon Tyne. The council is the buyer and will be seeking suppliers able to provide both the bathroom components and the fitting work. This is a planned procurement: the council has stated its intention to buy the service, but has not yet issued an invitation to tender. The requirement is part of a framework agreement, through which contracts may be awarded under the framework’s arrangements.

The procurement is at planning stage, with the council intending to use an open procedure. It expects to publish a tender notice on 2 November 2026; this is an indicative date for the next notice, not a deadline for supplier responses. The planned contract period is 1 April 2027 to 30 March 2029, with a possible extension to 30 March 2031. The procurement is above the relevant threshold, but no estimated value or budget is stated. It is arranged as one lot, with no further lot breakdown provided. The council has not yet set out participation or evaluation criteria. Any early market engagement would be announced separately.

The work is suited to bathroom suppliers and installation contractors able to provide a combined supply-and-fit service for a local authority. Small and medium-sized businesses are expressly considered suitable, making this potentially relevant to local specialists as well as larger contractors. Suppliers should consider whether they can resource bathroom supply and installation work across a framework arrangement and support delivery over the planned contract term, including a potential extension. The council has not yet described technical specifications, required qualifications, accreditations, staffing levels or past-performance requirements, so suppliers cannot yet assess detailed compliance or capacity thresholds. At this planning stage, firms can prepare for the later competition by monitoring for the tender notice and any separate market-engagement announcement.
