Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex County Council commissioned building and roof maintenance services at St Mary’s House. The work covered removing structures from the roof and disposing of the resulting materials, removing and replacing existing bird netting, and removing Daikin air-conditioning inverter units. The contractor was also required to make good the existing plastic roofing system after the structures and equipment had been removed. The requirement was categorised as repair and maintenance services. Delivery locations were described across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East, South West and the West Midlands. The buyer is East Sussex County Council, based in Lewes.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition notice. It was run as a mini-competition under the ESCC Planned Property Maintenance framework and evaluated on price. The single lot was recorded as cancelled, while the award to John Farrington & Co Ltd was active. The award date was 16 June 2026, and the contract was signed on 16 June 2026. The contract value is £125,115 including the stated currency of GBP. Three bids were recorded for the lot. The award was made to John Farrington & Co Ltd, an SME based in Hailsham. The procurement used the GPA-covered route described in the contracting information.

This outcome indicates demand for specialist property maintenance contractors able to work safely on occupied or operational public buildings, remove roof-mounted structures and equipment, dispose of resulting materials, replace bird-control netting and repair plastic roofing systems afterwards. Relevant capability includes practical roofing and building-maintenance experience, careful removal of mechanical equipment such as Daikin inverter units, and the ability to leave the roof weatherproof and properly finished. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that this type of requirement can be delivered by a smaller established contractor. Businesses with comparable roof-maintenance, access, removal, disposal and making-good experience would be well placed to demonstrate credibility when East Sussex County Council next requires this specific kind of work.
