Summary of the contracting process

7 Force Commercial Services commissioned refurbishment works to the second floor of Grays Police Station in Essex. The works include creating a new kitchen area, together with associated building and finishing activities. The scope covers construction work for a law-enforcement building, water plumbing, floor and wall coverings, and decoration. This is a building refurbishment project rather than a supply-only contract, requiring coordinated delivery across several trades within an operational police-station setting. The work is classified under CPV 45216000, with additional classifications for plumbing, floor and wall covering, and decoration. Delivery is at Grays Police Station, Grays, Essex. The buying organisation is 7 Force Commercial Services, which is also identified as the buyer for this requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 3 August 2026 at 4pm, and the award was made on 3 August 2026. Beardwell Construction Limited was selected for the contract at £79,643.66 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 13 August 2026 to 30 September 2026. The requirement was categorised as works and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The awarded contract covers the full refurbishment scope at Grays Police Station, including the new kitchen area, plumbing, floor and wall coverings, and decoration. No lots are identified, so the award relates to the requirement as a whole.

This award demonstrates demand from 7 Force Commercial Services for small-scale, multi-trade refurbishment work in police and other law-enforcement premises. A credible future supplier would need to manage construction works in an operational public-sector building, coordinate plumbing with finishes and decoration, and deliver a kitchen-area installation as part of a wider refurbishment. Relevant capability across general building, water plumbing, floor and wall coverings, and decorative works would reduce reliance on separate trades or require effective subcontractor management. Experience working safely around police-station operations, maintaining programme control, and completing multiple linked activities to a fixed handover requirement would strengthen a competitor’s position. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that businesses of this scale can be suitable for the buyer’s framework route.
