Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex County Council has completed the procurement process for resurfacing the playground and conducting structural works on the retaining wall at Western Road Primary School. Categorised under the construction industry (CPV: 45000000), this contract is part of the "works" procurement category. The project is based in Lewes, region UKJ22, United Kingdom. The procurement was carried out using a limited method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. This was facilitated by a mini-competition under a PCR15 Framework agreement. The contract, valued at £100,271, was awarded on 10th July 2026 to Cornerstone Building Contractors Limited.

This tender opens up growth opportunities primarily for construction companies specialising in resurfacing and structural works, particularly those familiar with public sector projects and framework agreements. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Cornerstone Building Contractors Limited are well-positioned to compete for similar contracts, particularly when they can leverage limited procurement methods and prior framework agreements. Businesses equipped to deliver construction services efficiently and within government regulations in the UK can find these opportunities lucrative, enhancing their portfolio while contributing to public infrastructure development.
