Summary of the contracting process

East Suffolk Council procured refurbishment works at the Romany Lane occupied Romany Gypsy travellers site in Kessingland. The requirement covered 16 ablution blocks serving 24 pitches of various sizes, including improvements to existing day rooms and associated bathroom and WC facilities. The work falls within building refurbishment, alteration, overhaul and repair of building installations. Electrical work and replacement windows or doors were expressly excluded from this requirement. The buyer is East Suffolk Council, a sub-central public authority. Delivery is at Romany Lane, Kessingland, Suffolk. This opportunity is therefore relevant to building refurbishment and maintenance contractors with experience of working on occupied residential or community sites, particularly where bathroom, WC and day-room upgrades must be delivered with minimal disruption to residents.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a below-threshold open competition. Four bids were received, all four reaching the final stage and all four submitted by SMEs. The single lot was evaluated on 40% price and 60% quality, with quality assessed against sub-criteria in the tender documents. East Suffolk Council awarded the contract to Aspect Group Services Limited on 2 September 2026. The awarded value is £426,609.51 excluding VAT (£511,931.41 including VAT). The awarded contract period runs from 17 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The original estimated value was £456,000 excluding VAT (£547,200 including VAT). The tender submission deadline was 19 August 2026 at 1pm, and the enquiry deadline was 29 July 2026 at 1pm.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from East Suffolk Council for refurbishment of ablution blocks, day rooms and bathroom and WC facilities on an occupied travellers site. A credible future supplier would need practical building refurbishment capability, including alteration, overhaul, repair and maintenance of building installations, while excluding electrical work and window or door replacement where those elements remain outside the requirement. Experience of upgrading multiple small residential or communal units, coordinating work across pitches of different sizes and maintaining safe, considerate operations around residents would be relevant. The procurement also shows that an SME can compete successfully through an open, below-threshold route. Suppliers preparing for similar council work should be able to evidence quality as well as competitive pricing, since quality carried the greater evaluation weighting.
