## Summary

Newcastle City Council is procuring a complete chalet service for the Christmas Market in Newcastle city centre. The requirement covers the manufacture, supply, installation, maintenance and removal of 58 chalets in various sizes, providing the market’s temporary trading accommodation. Suppliers will need to provide modular and portable buildings, including cabins, together with the associated operational support throughout their use. The work is for the Council’s busy city-centre Christmas Market and will involve coordinating delivery, installation, upkeep and removal of the chalet units. This is a goods requirement with a substantial service element, suited to businesses that can provide both the physical structures and the practical support needed to operate them.

The process has reached tender: Newcastle City Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. There is one lot. Enquiries close at 5pm on 8 September 2026, and offers are due by noon on 14 September 2026; electronic submission is allowed. The contract period is 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027, with an extension from 1 October 2027 for three months to support the 2027 Christmas Market, giving a maximum end date of 31 December 2027. The estimated value is £104,000 excluding VAT and £124,800 including VAT. Tenders will be evaluated as the Most Economically Advantageous Tender, using quality and price, with the highest overall score winning.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises based in the United Kingdom; participation is reserved for these supplier types. Strong candidates will be able to manufacture or source temporary market chalets in different sizes, manage transport and installation in a busy city-centre environment, and provide reliable maintenance during the market period. They will also need the capacity to remove the units after use and support the Council across successive Christmas-market seasons if the extension is used. Businesses offering an integrated chalet, logistics and maintenance service are likely to be better placed than suppliers providing units alone. The Council will assess how convincingly each bidder can meet its requirements.
