Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Demolition and Renewal of the Cemetery Chapel Waiting Room and WC's" was managed by Tunbridge Wells Borough Council. The project involved demolishing the existing structures and constructing a modern single-storey waiting room and WC's at the Kent and Sussex Crematorium, Benhall Mill Road, Tunbridge Wells, TN2 5JJ. This process was categorised under the "works" procurement category and employed an open method of procurement, indicating it was carried out through open competition below threshold standards. The tender went through multiple stages starting with a release in April 2025, followed by a deadline for expression of interest in May, and tender submission in early June 2025. The contract was awarded to AMMCASS CE Group and signed on 16th September 2025, with the contract period extending from 17th September 2025 to 31st August 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in building construction work, specifically those capable of delivering projects below £230,000. The open competition aspect allows small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to participate, which is reflected in the procurement being awarded to an SME like AMMCASS CE Group based in Bromley. Such projects can lead to business growth as they provide experience in public sector contracting and the potential for future opportunities with local government. Businesses specialising in demolition and modern construction solutions would find this type of project particularly well-suited to their expertise.
