## Summary

Middlesbrough Council, acting as the contracting authority, has successfully awarded the contract for the "R070 - Cemetery Extension Works at Thorntree Cemetery" to White Horse Contractors Limited. The procurement process, governed by the UKPGA legal framework, followed a direct method under the "Below threshold - without competition" guideline. This contract, stationed in the UKC12 region of the United Kingdom, was initiated to address a backlog issue affecting the Council's operations and the Crematorium service. Following its completion phase, the contract was signed on 24th October 2025, with planned execution running from 1st January 2026 to 30th September 2026.

This tender creates a prime opportunity for contractors in the construction sector, particularly those specialising in cemetery infrastructure improvements, to demonstrate their capabilities. The project's scale and scope make it ideal for large-scale contractors like White Horse Contractors Limited, who have the resources and expertise to deliver such works efficiently. Given the financial scale of the contract valued at GBP 1,710,000 net, it presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses capable of handling complex projects within the public sector framework. The contract reflects a dependable and structured demand for infrastructure-related construction services in the Northeast of England, promising engagement and potential further collaborations with public authorities for competent suppliers.
