Summary of the contracting process

Tunbridge Wells Borough Council procured works to repair and resurface the car park and driveway surfaces at Kent and Sussex Crematorium and Cemetery. The scope covered the crematorium car park and the driveways leading to and around both the Crematorium and Cemetery chapels. The work was delivered at Benhall Mill Road, Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent, TN2 5JJ. This is a civil engineering and highway-surface works requirement, specifically car park and driveway resurfacing. The buyer is Tunbridge Wells Borough Council, a sub-central public authority. The procurement was a single works requirement rather than a broader framework or multi-site programme, focused on restoring usable vehicle access and parking surfaces at the crematorium and cemetery site.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Steadline Limited. The award date was 24 March 2026, with an awarded value of £33,024.31 excluding VAT and £39,629.17 including VAT. The contract was signed on 25 March 2026 and its recorded contract period ran from 25 March to 28 March 2026; the award’s works period ran from 28 March to 4 April 2026. Two bids were received, both reaching the final stage and both from SMEs. The evaluation basis is reflected in the award of the resurfacing works to Steadline Limited; no separate weighting or detailed criteria are published in the procurement data.

This procurement demonstrates local authority demand for contractors able to repair and resurface car parks, driveways and access routes serving sensitive public sites such as crematoria and cemeteries. A credible competitor would need practical capability in resurfacing works, including preparing and restoring hardstanding and vehicle access areas, and the capacity to complete a focused site programme with minimal disruption to visitors and chapel users. The successful supplier was an SME, and both final-stage bidders were SMEs, indicating that the requirement was accessible to smaller specialist contractors rather than only major national firms. Experience delivering comparable civil engineering or highway-surface repairs for councils, public facilities or other operational sites would help establish credibility when this buyer next tests a similar requirement.
