UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex County Council has concluded a procurement process titled "Theatre In Education" under the legal basis UKPGA 2023/54. The contract was aimed at engaging a service provider to promote road safety among young road users through theatre performances targeted at students in Year 7 and Year 11. The procurement was carried out under a limited competition method, specifically below threshold, with the final award to The Rapport Group Ltd. It is classified under the services category, specifically secondary education services, and focuses on the region UKJ in the United Kingdom. The contract period is from 14th July 2025 to 13th July 2026, with the contract notice published on 9th July 2025. The completion of the tender stage is reflected with the signing date also being 9th July 2025, with a gross contract value of £63,480.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in educational and theatrical services, particularly those focusing on educational performances and road safety campaigns. The award to The Rapport Group Ltd, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME), highlights the council's openness to engaging SMEs in delivering public services. Other businesses well-suited to compete in such tenders would likely possess capabilities in creative educational content delivery, with the infrastructure to manage performances across educational institutions. Given the limited competition approach, businesses with a niche focus on similar educational programmes would be strategically positioned to compete in such procurement processes in future rounds.
