Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "ESCC-HP-PME-Etchingham Primary School Drainage Remedials" project is concluded with East Sussex County Council, a regional authority based in Lewes, as the buying organisation. This construction work falls under the "works" industry category with location specified in region UKJ22. The procurement method utilised was limited, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was awarded on 28th May 2026, and the project aims to address drainage remedial works at Etchingham Primary School. Despite the completion status of the tender, the initial lot was cancelled due to the project being part of a planned maintenance framework with variable timescales.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth and competitiveness, especially for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the construction industry. Colors Decorating Limited, an SME situated in St Leonards On Sea, successfully secured the contract, illustrating the potential for regional businesses to engage in public sector projects. Firms specialising in construction work, especially those with experience in institutional remedials, would have been well-suited to compete in this procurement, given its specific focus on school infrastructure improvements within the UKJ22 region. The engagement under the Planned Maintenance Framework further supports businesses skilled in adaptive and flexible project management.
