Summary of the contracting process

Wealden District Council is in the planning stage of a public procurement process for the Vicarage Field Remedial Works in Hailsham, South East England (region UKJ22). This project, estimated at £860,000, aims to rejuvenate several areas of the town centre site by replacing soffits, eaves, rainwater goods, external doors, first-floor windows, and certain flat roof coverings. Interested parties should note that this is an open procurement method, detailed under the legal basis UKPGA 2023/54. Key dates include a tender period ending on 17th July 2026 and a contract period commencing on 1st September 2026, concluding by the end of November 2026.

This procurement opportunity presents a significant business growth potential for companies specialising in building completion, repair, and maintenance services. It is particularly suitable for SMEs, given the below-threshold, open competition nature of the procurement. Businesses equipped to sensitively manage construction works, particularly where tenants will remain on-site, will find this project a valuable opportunity to showcase their capabilities. The contract award criteria are based on 70% price and 30% quality, providing a competitive yet quality-focused procurement process.

Notice Title

WDC AB Vicarage Field Remedial Works EOI (ESPH777 MV)

Notice Description

Vicarage Fields is a town centre site in Hailsham. It was acquired in 2017 and has been routinely maintained since that time. However, several areas of the buildings have now been identified as requiring rejuvenation, and the Council intends to deliver a project to address these essential works. The Remedial Works Project includes the replacement of soffits, eaves, and rainwater goods, along with the renewal of external doors and first-floor windows. A number of flat roofs also require replacement coverings, with associated works in specific locations including new rooflights and guardrails. It is important that all works are carried out sensitively, as tenants will remain in occupation throughout the project. Scaffolding is anticipated and will need to be carefully managed to minimise disruption to businesses and shoppers.
