Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Rother District Council involves the refurbishment of The Colonnade, a Grade II listed structure in East Sussex, United Kingdom. The contract is classified under the industry category of 'Refurbishment work' with the Contracting Authority overseeing essential repairs, including drainage and waterproofing enhancements, alongside heritage conservation efforts. The procurement followed a selective method known as a restricted procedure, culminating in the award stage. The contract runs from 1st October 2025 to 17th April 2026, and while tender submissions concluded on 13th August 2025, the award was made active on 9th October 2025. The total contract value awarded to DBR Limited amounts to £470,079.86.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in heritage conservation and refurbishment to expand their portfolio, particularly those experienced in handling historic structures. While the procurement was not open to SMEs or VCSEs, medium to large contractors with expertise in structural engineering and conservation would find such projects lucrative. The project not only involves technical renovation work but also requires sensitivity to historical context, thus favouring organisations capable of delivering precision in heritage compliance and restoration. Engaging in such governmental projects enhances credibility, potentially opening doors for future contracts in similar sectors both locally and internationally.
