Summary of the contracting process

Rother District Council has recently completed a procurement process for the "ESPH AB/SB RDC Colonnade Refurbishment" project. This initiative, classified under the works industry category, focused on essential repairs and refurbishment of The Colonnade, a Grade II listed building located in Bexhill-on-Sea, United Kingdom. The procurement method was a limited competition, designed for projects below the threshold, and the contract was eventually awarded to DBR (LONDON) LIMITED. The contract is active and commenced on 9th October 2025, with an expected completion date of 23rd April 2026. The refurbishment primarily targets water ingress issues and the repair of structural and decorative elements, requiring specialist input from structural engineering and heritage conservation professionals.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in heritage conservation and refurbishment, particularly those with expertise in working on historically listed structures. Companies with capabilities in waterproofing and drainage systems, as well as structural repairs, could find strong growth potential by aligning with similar projects. The procurement process facilitated by Rother District Council highlights the ongoing need for contractors who can deliver high-quality repairs while respecting heritage requirements, thus offering a platform for specialised service providers to expand their portfolio and build credibility in the public procurement space.
