This procurement falls under the "works" industry category, specifically focusing on refurbishment work, and is located in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, UK (region UKH31). The process has reached the 'Award' stage, with key dates including the contract start date of 4 August 2026 and an end date of 28 August 2026, with potential to extend by a week due to weather delays. The contract, with a gross value of £34,404, was signed on 27 July 2026. The procurement method was "Below threshold - unknown".

This tender offers business growth opportunities, particularly for those in the construction and refurbishment sectors, such as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like EDMUNDS DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION LTD, which has been awarded the contract.
