Summary of the contracting process

Rustington Parish Council procured construction and construction-related services for the refurbishment and extension of the Woodlands Centre in Rustington. The works cover an existing community centre with a gross internal area of 350 square metres. The scope includes a new kitchen, reconfiguration and refurbishment of the existing toilets, new heating and ventilation systems, and new finishes throughout. Delivery is in Rustington, West Sussex, with the building remaining occupied while the scheme is completed in phases. The buying organisation is Rustington Parish Council, with quantity surveying support from BAQUS GROUP LIMITED. This is a building refurbishment and extension requirement for a community facility, rather than a standalone design, maintenance or supply contract.

The procurement was an below-threshold open competition for works and is now complete, with the contract awarded to PILBEAM CONSTRUCTION SERVICES LIMITED on 14 September 2026. The award value is £715,000 gross. The awarded contract period runs from 12 October 2026 to 30 April 2027; the tender lot had originally specified 21 September 2026 to 1 June 2027. The original estimated value was £500,000 excluding VAT (£600,000 gross). Twelve bids were received, all from SMEs. Evaluation weighted quality at 70% and price at 30%. Quality included a fully completed Selection Questionnaire and appendices, while price required a compliant, itemised preliminaries schedule including overheads and profit. The procurement was reserved for SMEs and VCSEs in England.

This award shows demand from Rustington Parish Council for an SME-capable main contractor able to refurbish and extend an occupied community building while managing phased construction. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need proven experience in multi-trade refurbishment, extensions, kitchens, toilets, heating and ventilation, and internal finishes, together with the capacity to coordinate work safely around building users. Strong project controls would matter, including a clear project management team, an experienced site manager, phased programming, stakeholder communication and delivery against a compliant, fully itemised price. Suppliers should also be prepared to complete detailed selection questionnaires and supporting appendices, demonstrate quality through their delivery approach, and manage the practical constraints of working in an occupied 350-square-metre public facility.
