## Summary

Northumberland County Council has successfully awarded a contract for the NCC1766 Extra Care Site Investigations and Feasibility Studies project. This procurement falls within the technical inspection services category and involves assessing potential extra care housing sites across five Council-owned locations in the North East of the United Kingdom. The award stage was completed with the contract awarded to Fairhurst Group LLP on 11th February 2026. The contract spans from 12th February 2026 to 12th April 2026, ensuring comprehensive site investigations are conducted prior to engaging Registered Providers for further development. The procurement method utilised was a call-off from a framework agreement, indicative of a selective process within the public services sector.

This tender presents a prime opportunity for businesses in the technical inspection services and related consultancy fields. With a contract value of £96,750, the project aligns with the capabilities of small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs), which are encouraged to engage in such public procurement processes. Companies skilled in feasibility studies, site investigations, and risk assessment related to housing developments will find this contract particularly suitable, as it requires expertise in identifying site constraints and potential challenges. This initiative by Northumberland County Council underscores a strategic investment in community infrastructure, providing growth potential for businesses adept in supporting public sector projects.

## Notice

The Council is seeking to appoint one provider to complete technical investigations and feasibility studies across 5 Council owned sites in advance of procuring Registered Providers to design, construct and manage the development of extra care schemes at these locations. These will support the Council to assess the suitability for the sites for extra care housing, identify significant site constraints, risks and their potential mitigations. They will not be used to support any subsequent planning application. Additional information: A further competition was undertaken under NEPO212 Support Services for the development of the built environment Lot 6: Planning/ Development Management
