Summary of the contracting process

Durham County Council commissioned earthworks for Seaham Docks Car Park. The work is classified as construction, with road-repair and resurfacing work also identified. It concerns groundworks at the car park and is intended to support the car park works. Delivery is in Seaham, County Durham. The contract is a single package rather than a set of separately described lots. The stated scope is concise, centred on earthworks required for the car park; the associated work classifications indicate a road and surface works context. This is relevant to civil engineering and construction contractors with earthworks capability, particularly those whose work includes preparation or repair of car park and road surfaces.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Hall Construction Services Limited. Durham County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 2 September 2026 and runs from 3 September to 27 November 2026. Its gross value is £106,035.20. The award is recorded as active, and the contract is also active. The procurement comprised one lot, covering the Seaham Docks Car Park earthworks. No specific evaluation criteria or scoring basis are stated in the process information, so the basis for selecting the supplier cannot be described beyond the limited competition route. The award covers construction works, including road-repair and resurfacing classifications, with delivery in Seaham.

This award shows Durham County Council buying a focused, relatively small-scale package of car park earthworks with associated road-repair and resurfacing work, through a limited competition. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to demonstrate practical civil engineering and earthworks delivery capability, and the ability to carry out work in a live car park or comparable site while coordinating groundworks with the finished surface. Relevant experience in car park construction, road repair or resurfacing would help establish fit with the requirement. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that a smaller construction business was capable of winning this package; the award does not establish that SME status was a formal condition or evaluation preference. Suppliers should be equipped to manage a discrete council works contract of this scale.
