Summary of the contracting process

Rother District Council appointed a contractor for advance roofing works at the De La Warr Pavilion. The requirement covers repairs and cleaning to existing stone parapet copings across all roof areas, repairs and protective liquid-applied waterproof coatings to the auditorium’s metal sheet roof, and new reinforced bitumen warm-roof covering systems for the central wing and fly tower roofs. It also includes liquid-applied waterproofing to auditorium roof gutters and upstands. The works include the design, supply and installation of guided fall-restraint systems on the central wing, fly tower and auditorium roofs, improving safe access for maintenance. This is a construction and specialist roofing package, including roof repair, waterproofing, roof covering, roof painting and maintenance works, delivered at the pavilion.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Rother District Council used a below-threshold limited competition. One award was made to RTB Roofing Ltd. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026 and runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 October 2026. Its value is £500,441.20 excluding VAT, or £600,529.44 including VAT. The award covers the single roofing works package. The selected supplier is RTB Roofing Ltd, a company based in Rettendon Common, Chelmsford. The contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through the limited-competition route, and the published procurement information identifies the work as construction, specialist roofing, roof covering and roof repair and maintenance.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Rother District Council for specialist contractors able to deliver complex roofing works on a public landmark. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical experience repairing and maintaining varied roof structures, including stone parapet copings, metal sheet roofs, gutters and upstands. Relevant capability also includes liquid-applied waterproofing and protective coatings, reinforced bitumen warm-roof systems, and roof-covering or roof-painting work. Suppliers would need to manage design as well as supply and installation of guided fall-restraint systems, with a strong understanding of safe roof access and maintenance. The requirement suits an experienced roofing business able to coordinate several specialist disciplines and work across multiple roof areas while maintaining site safety and construction quality.
