Adaptation of properties - Bathroom and Minor Aids

Newcastle City Council · Local authority

In brief

Newcastle City Council has announced plans to buy construction work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £4,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 18 months, up to 42 months with extensions, starting 2 November 2026.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.
