Summary of the contracting process

Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council appointed a civil engineering consultancy team for the Billingham Sports Hub project. The work is to develop, coordinate and complete the technical design, integrating the design across the site into a deliverable scheme. The council identifies the project and site as complex and requires multidisciplinary consultancy input and strong design coordination and project integration. The work is for the built environment and is classified as civil engineering consultancy services (CPV 71311000). Delivery is in Stockton-on-Tees, in the North East of England.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Ove Arup & Partners Limited. The contract value is £102,955.50, and it was signed on 3 September 2026; no contract period or award date is recorded. The council used a direct award from the NEPO 212 framework, without prior publication of a competition. One bid was recorded. The stated award criterion was price. The sole lot is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active, so the published outcome is internally inconsistent about the lot’s status. The framework route permitted a direct award. The contract includes an option for an extension of up to 24 months.

For firms considering similar future consultancy work for Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council, this award indicates demand for multidisciplinary technical design services for a complex sports facility site. A credible supplier would need to develop and coordinate a complete, integrated design that can be delivered across the site, with strong project integration and design coordination. The council’s description also points to the value of a proven record of delivering complex schemes for it. The award was made through the NEPO 212 built-environment support-services framework by direct award, with price identified as the award criterion. Suppliers seeking comparable work would therefore need relevant civil engineering consultancy capability and access to the appropriate framework route, as well as a competitive price.
