UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Southend-on-Sea City Council commissioned refurbishment works at the Cambridge Road Best Centre in Southend-on-Sea. The requirement covers decorating walls, ceilings and woodwork throughout the building, together with installing new child-friendly roller blinds. The work is categorised as refurbishment work. The council is the public-sector buyer and the delivery location is in the United Kingdom. This is a single-site building improvement requirement combining internal decoration with window-blind installation. It is relevant to contractors providing commercial or public-sector painting and decorating, refurbishment, finishing and associated blinds or window-treatment services, particularly those able to coordinate several trades and complete work in an occupied or child-focused building environment.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to EDMUNDS DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION LTD. It used a below-threshold procurement route, with the specific method recorded as unknown, and comprised one lot. The contract was signed on 27 July 2026. The awarded contract value is £28,670 excluding VAT, or £34,404 including VAT. The contract period runs from 4 August 2026 to 28 August 2026, with a possible extension to 4 September 2026. The extension is intended for weather delays affecting external decoration. The awarded supplier is a Southend-on-Sea-based SME. The procurement was evaluated as works, with refurbishment work identified as the relevant classification.

This award demonstrates local council demand for small, time-limited refurbishment packages that combine painting and decorating with practical building finishes. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need proven capability in decorating walls, ceilings, woodwork and external areas, alongside the ability to source and install child-friendly roller blinds. The work calls for coordinated delivery across several elements rather than a single specialist trade, with sufficient capacity to complete a building-wide programme within a short period. Experience of council, education, childcare or other public-facing premises would help demonstrate suitability, as would reliable planning for weather-sensitive external work and the ability to manage an extension without disrupting the wider programme.
