Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process carried out by Castle Point Borough Council involved the refurbishment of Knightswick Shopping Centre Mall and External Works in Canvey Island. The procurement, classified under the works category and centred around refurbishment work, followed an open tender method with below threshold competition. Key milestones include the award stage dated 2nd June 2026, with significant dates prior including a contract signing on 28th May 2026. The project was completed with ETEC Contract Services Limited being the awarded supplier. The procurement stages transitioned from market engagement to planning and then to the tender and award phases over this period.

For businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the construction and refurbishment sector, this contract offered significant growth opportunities. The project required suppliers with accreditation to Constructionline Gold or equivalent, ability to work out of hours, and a specialised focus on project specifications such as modernising internal finishes and upgrading lighting.
