Summary of the contracting process

Southend-on-Sea City Council procured external works at Fairways Primary School in Leigh-on-Sea. The requirement covered converting a grassed area into hardstanding tarmac for use as a fire muster assembly point, together with resetting four areas of sunken or uneven paving slabs. This is a small civil engineering, paving and asphalting project, classified under CPV 45233222. The work is for a school site and concerns practical improvements to its fire-assembly provision and outdoor surfaces. The named buying organisation is Southend-on-Sea City Council, a sub-central public authority. Delivery is in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, and the requirement was arranged as a single works lot. The selected supplier was a local small or medium-sized construction business.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold procedure with the detailed method recorded as unknown. One lot was awarded to EDMUNDS DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION LTD. The contract was signed on 28 July 2026 and the award was active. The contract period runs from 3 August to 21 August 2026, with a maximum extension date of 1 September 2026. The extension is available only for weather delays if required. The awarded value is £39,740.57 excluding VAT, or £47,688.68 including VAT. The work was evaluated and awarded for paving and asphalting works at Fairways Primary School. No separate award or contract values were published for other lots.

This award indicates demand from Southend-on-Sea City Council for compact school-site works involving tarmac hardstanding, paving repairs and safer fire-muster facilities. Suppliers well placed for similar requirements would be small or medium-sized civil engineering, groundwork, paving or construction firms able to deliver asphalt and paving work in an operational school environment. Credible competitors would need practical experience converting grassed areas to hardstanding, repairing uneven or sunken slabs, managing site access and working safely around school users. They would also need the capacity to complete a focused project within a short programme, while allowing for weather-related disruption. Local knowledge of Leigh-on-Sea and the wider Southend area could support efficient delivery, although the award data does not make locality a formal requirement.
