## Summary

Northumberland County Council has successfully completed the procurement process to appoint Willmott Dixon Construction Limited as the main contractor for the Berwick Maltings Theatre project, located in the North East of the United Kingdom. The procurement followed an open procedure above the threshold, and the total contract value is approximately £21 million GBP. This tender represents a two-stage process, with the current award covering stage 1, known as the Pre-Construction Services Agreement (PCSA). Key dates include the original end date for the tender period on 26 February 2025, and the project's contract period scheduled from 31 March 2025 to 22 March 2027.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities in the construction industry, particularly for firms experienced in theatre development and large-scale infrastructure projects. With an emphasis on open procurement, the process encourages Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to participate, although the current contract was awarded to a large supplier. The project's scale and scope are well-suited for companies capable of managing complex building works in a competitive environment, and the possibility of entering stage 2 of the contract upon final value agreement could further extend business prospects.

## Notice

This is a 2 stage process and this award is for stage 1 - PCSA. If a final value can be agreed this will progress to stage 2. Northumberland County Council (NCC) is conducting a procurement exercise to appoint a main contractor to carry out the works at The Berwick Maltings Theatre. Further details of the Contracting Authority's requirements under the Contract and other relevant information are detailed in the Specification/Employers Requirements and supporting Appendices which can be found at https://www.open-uk.org/ Reference number - OPEN202552
