## Summary

Newcastle City Council has initiated a procurement process titled "009522 - Central Gateway Cladding Panel Replacement", which falls under the construction industry category. The project focuses on the replacement of the overhead cladding panel system in Orchard Street Tunnel located in Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK. This open procurement process, part of a wider improvement scheme, offers a budget of up to £300,000 and is currently in the tender stage. Interested parties must submit their inquiries by 13 July 2026 and complete their tender submissions by 15 July 2026. The work is expected to commence on 31 July 2026 and conclude by 31 October 2026.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses experienced in construction work, specifically those capable of delivering cladding panel installation services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as the project is suitable for them. With a balanced focus on quality and price for award criteria (60% Quality and 40% Price), companies with a robust track record in maintaining infrastructure aesthetics can gain a competitive edge. This contract not only allows successful bidders to expand their portfolio of public sector projects but also to cement their reputation within the Newcastle region's local government contracts landscape.

## Notice

Orchard Street Tunnel provides an important pedestrian link between the station / Neville Street area and the Founders Place quarter of the city. The tunnel is also used by station taxis as a queuing and waiting area before entering the station taxi rank. The existing overhead cladding panel system in Orchard Street Tunnel is functional but is not considered to provide the desired aesthetic quality for the wider improvement scheme. The current panel arrangement also creates access difficulties for street lighting maintenance and Network Rail inspection activities.
