Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Essex County Council commissioned sustainable drainage systems and green infrastructure works for schools across Essex under its Schools Programme for 2026/27. The work is categorised as landscaping and environmental improvement, covering the installation or improvement of drainage and green infrastructure at school sites. Delivery is in Essex, within the South East of England. This is a works contract, rather than a supply-only or advisory requirement. The buyer is Essex County Council, based in Chelmsford. The programme is focused on school settings; the published scope does not identify individual schools or specify particular drainage or landscaping measures.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Carrick Sports Construction Limited. The award was made on 13 July 2026. The contract period runs from 10 August 2026 to 9 August 2027. The awarded value is £400,000. The tender had a submission deadline of 2 July 2026. The council used a selective route, making a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The published details do not set out evaluation weightings or a scored award basis. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It was not divided into lots in the information provided.

For suppliers considering comparable future school drainage and green-infrastructure work for Essex County Council, this award demonstrates demand for an integrated package of landscaping and environmental improvement works in school settings. A credible competitor would need to show practical capability to deliver sustainable drainage and green infrastructure across school sites, and to manage the work as a defined programme rather than as a single isolated landscaping task. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized business, indicating that this contract was deliverable by an SME. The buying route was a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, so suppliers seeking similar work should be positioned to participate through that route. The published requirement does not identify particular accreditations, technical thresholds or experience requirements.
