Summary of the contracting process

Cleveland Fire Authority procured construction work for its estate. The initial works comprise demolishing the existing training tower and building a new one at Grangetown fire station. The contract also allows further relevant construction work across the Authority’s estate, so the requirement extends beyond the station project. The delivery location is described as various, with Grangetown fire station identified for the initial tower works. This is a construction requirement for a fire and rescue authority, combining a defined station-based project with provision for additional estate construction. Suppliers whose work covers demolition and building construction may find the scope relevant, particularly those able to undertake projects at fire service premises and across a wider estate.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Tom Willoughby Ltd. The contract is active and was signed on 1 October 2026, at a value of £600,000. The procurement was a call-off from the YPO Building Envelope Services DPS framework, using a limited procedure without a prior competition notice. One bid was recorded. Evaluation gave technical experience a weighting of 60 and project cost a weighting of 40. The initial works are at Grangetown fire station, with the contract allowing further relevant construction works across Cleveland Fire Authority’s estate. The tender lot is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active; the published outcome identifies the selected supplier and active contract.

This award shows Cleveland Fire Authority buying construction work through a call-off from the YPO Building Envelope Services DPS, rather than through an open competition for this requirement. A credible competitor for comparable future estate work would need to demonstrate strong technical experience: this was weighted more heavily than project cost in the evaluation. Relevant capability includes demolition and construction of a new training tower, and the ability to deliver further construction projects across fire service sites. Suppliers should be prepared to evidence experience on technically demanding building projects and to price competitively, while recognising that quality of experience carried greater evaluation weight than cost. The awarded contract is active, and the scope illustrates demand for both a defined fire station project and additional estate construction.
