Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex County Council has successfully completed the procurement process for the kitchen refurbishment project at the Polly Arch Caravan Site in Polegate. This procurement falls under the "Refurbishment work" industry category with an estimated value of £50,000. The refurbishment work involves updating kitchen installations across six pitches to include new units, worktops, sinks, and flooring. The contracting stage concluded with an award on 2nd July 2026, with the implementation period spanning from 1st June 2026 to 1st January 2027. The project was awarded to Colours Decorating Ltd.

This tender presents significant business opportunities, especially for companies specialising in refurbishment and construction works. With projected improvements in kitchen facilities, the tender can serve as a valuable contract for businesses focusing on plumbing, ventilation, and interior design. Despite the procurement method not being specified, interested entities, especially larger contractors capable of managing multiple refurbishment necessities, would have found this opportunity particularly appealing. However, the project did not target SMEs or VCSEs, indicating an emphasis on organisations with substantial capacity and experience.
