The project is a two-stage design-and-build scheme for an alternative education provision for up to 40 students with social, emotional and mental health needs, alongside a 40-place post-16 facility for skills-based learning. It also includes external works for both provisions. The procurement is categorised as construction work and falls within the works category. Delivery is in Blyth, Northumberland, in the North East of England. The council is the buying organisation. The requirement is therefore suited to contractors able to combine building refurbishment, education facilities and associated external works within one integrated project. This completed procurement used a mini-competition from an existing framework. It was structured as a two-stage design-and-build process: the Stage 1 pre-construction services agreement was awarded, with progression to Stage 2 dependent on agreement of a price. The award was made to Equans Regeneration Limited on 13 July 2026 for £317,136.10 including the published currency of GBP. The contract runs from 14 July 2026 to 20 August 2027. The tender submission deadline was 13 July 2026 at 12:00. The tender description gives an overall contract value of £4,750,000, while the recorded award value is £317,136.10. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates Northumberland County Council’s demand for integrated construction and design capability in specialist education settings. A credible future competitor would need experience of refurbishing or adapting existing public buildings, delivering education environments and coordinating external works. The requirement also favours firms able to manage a staged design-and-build route, including pre-construction services, pricing development and progression into construction once costs are agreed. Contractors should be able to deliver facilities for young people with social, emotional and mental health needs and a separate skills-based post-16 provision. Experience of public-sector framework mini-competitions and the capacity to manage a substantial single-site project would strengthen a future bid. ## Notice Two stage design and build procurement for the repurposing of the vacant existing civic centre to an alternative education provision designed to accommodate up to 40 students with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs together with a 40-place post 16 provision for skills-based learning.
