Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Danehill Primary School - Fire compartmentation Works", managed by East Sussex County Council, is in the award and contract stage, having been completed on 21st July 2026. This project entailed fire-prevention installation works, specifically replacing two internal wall partitions in classroom areas to enhance fire compartmentation. Located across various regions in the UK, the procurement process was carried out as a limited procedure without prior competition calls, as it fell outside typical directive applications. The awarded contract, worth £22,440, was signed with Colours Decorating Ltd, a small or medium enterprise based in St Leonards On Sea.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in fire-prevention and installation works, especially those with experience in educational infrastructure. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Colours Decorating Ltd, who can efficiently manage targeted projects under frameworks, are ideally suited for such contracts. The competitive process saw four bids, demonstrating a dynamic market interest. Engaging with similar procurements could foster growth through public sector engagements, gaining visibility and credibility for experienced contractors in the facilities management industry.
