Summary of the contracting process

East Suffolk Council, a public authority operating under the sub-central government classification, has awarded a contract for the supply and fitting of flooring. This project, titled "Supply and fit of flooring," is classified under the 'works' category and involves the installation of flooring in both tenanted and vacant properties maintained by the Council. The procurement was done using an open competition method below the threshold, and Hicks Flooring was the successful supplier. The contract, valued at £240,000 with a gross amount of £288,000, runs from 31 October 2025 to 29 October 2027, with the potential for a one-year renewal. The contract was awarded on 16 October 2025, and the anticipated date of contract signature is scheduled for 30 October 2025. The work will primarily be conducted in Woodbridge, UK, as part of the UKH14 region.

This procurement process presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in flooring installation and supply, particularly those capable of working in diverse environments, including properties without guaranteed electricity supply. The open competition aspect of this tender process signifies a fair opportunity for various companies to participate, although Hicks Flooring, a large-scale company, ultimately secured the contract. Businesses in the construction and home renovation sectors, with capabilities in flooring solutions, stand to benefit from engaging in similar tenders by prioritising quality and competitive pricing, as these were the key award criteria. This contract highlights growth potential for businesses willing to expand their operations and compete in public sector tenders within the UK regions.
