Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the "ESCC-PMD-Forest Row School Roof Light Replacement" project has been conducted by East Sussex County Council, a regional authority based in Lewes, United Kingdom (region UKJ22). The project falls under the construction work industry category and involves works for replacing roof lights at Forest Row School. The procurement stage is complete, and the contract, valued at £72,060, was signed on 11th September 2025. The procurement method used was a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, justified by the procurement being outside the scope of the directive. The sole award was made to John Farrington & Co Limited, and the status of the related lot was marked as cancelled.

This tender provides business growth opportunities mainly for construction firms specialising in school infrastructure enhancements. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like John Farrington & Co Limited may find this sector conducive to leveraging their skills in specialised construction and repair works. The procurement method indicates potential niche bidding opportunities through similar mini competitions under frameworks, where firms with the right expertise and regional presence, particularly in the UKJ22 area, could thrive. Businesses looking to expand their portfolio in the public sector and navigate specific procurement frameworks would be well-suited to compete for such projects in the future.
