## Summary

Hartlepool Borough Council commissioned construction works for the Waterfront Connectivity Walkway. The scope covers the walkway works, including a steel frame and foundations on the dry side of Jackson Dock’s western slipway. This is a civil engineering and construction requirement, with the relevant classification describing construction work. Delivery is in Hartlepool, at Jackson Dock. The council is the public-sector buyer and commissioning authority. The requirement concerns physical infrastructure and structural works rather than routine maintenance, consultancy or supply-only activity. Businesses relevant to this procurement are construction contractors able to undertake steel-framed walkway works and associated foundation construction in a waterfront location, with the capability to coordinate the structural and groundworks elements as one project.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to BCE Northern Limited. The contract was signed on 5 September 2026 and has a period from 27 September 2026 to 31 October 2026. Its value is £160,613 excluding VAT and £192,735 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement was evaluated through the limited-competition route under the Public Contracts Act 2023 framework identified for the process. The published outcome records a single supplier for the construction works, rather than separate awards to multiple contractors. This was a below-threshold opportunity managed directly by Hartlepool Borough Council.

This award provides a clear indication of Hartlepool Borough Council’s demand for focused civil engineering and waterfront access infrastructure. A credible future competitor would need practical experience delivering construction works that combine steel-frame fabrication or erection with substantial foundations, and the ability to manage these elements safely as an integrated package. Experience working around docks, slipways or other constrained waterfront environments would be commercially relevant because the requirement is located beside Jackson Dock. The successful supplier is recorded as an SME, showing that the work was suitable for a smaller construction business rather than only a major national contractor. Firms building a track record in local-authority infrastructure, structural construction and groundworks would be well placed to pursue comparable requirements from this buyer.
