Summary of the contracting process

Castle Point Borough Council has recently awarded a contract for the refurbishment of Knightswick Shopping Centre Mall and external works in Canvey Island. This public procurement process was initiated by an open tender method and focused on refurbishment work within the industry category of works. Etec Contract Services Limited has been selected as the supplier, with the contract value amounting to £1,490,472.12. The procurement process is now at the award stage with the contract period commencing on 16th March 2026 and concluding on 14th August 2026. A voluntary standstill period will be observed from 12th February to 23rd February 2026, providing a window for any challenges to the procurement decision. The tender required bidders to have accreditation to Constructionline Gold or equivalent and the capacity to work out of hours, indicating an effective reliance on quality and flexibility for project completion.

This refurbishment project opens opportunities for businesses within the construction and refurbishment sectors, particularly SMEs due to the reserved participation scheme. With a focus on modernising and upgrading existing structures, including architectural and mechanical elements, businesses skilled in these areas will find lucrative prospects. The procurement process encouraged out of hours work, accommodating those businesses capable of providing flexible construction solutions. Moreover, companies with expertise in external works and installations such as brick cladding, lighting systems, and air curtain installation would be well-suited to compete. By successfully engaging in such contracts, businesses have the potential to expand their portfolio and strengthen their reputation within public sector contracts.
