Summary of the contracting process

Rother District Council commissioned refurbishment and construction works at two leisure facilities in Bexhill-on-Sea. The Ravenside Pool project covers mechanical and electrical works, swimming pool improvements and solar installation. The Bexhill Leisure Centre project covers replacement of the roof covering, potential installation of new solar panels, internal mechanical and electrical improvements, and minor alterations. This is a construction works requirement focused on leisure-centre and swimming-pool buildings. Both projects are located in the Rother area of East Sussex, with the council acting as the buyer. The requirement suits contractors able to manage building refurbishment alongside specialist building-services, swimming-pool, roofing and renewable-energy works within operational leisure facilities.

The procurement is complete and was run as a below-threshold limited competition. One lot covered both projects. BMR Construction Limited received two active awards. The Ravenside Pool contract was signed on 27 July 2026, runs from 1 September 2026 to 26 January 2027, and is worth £1,159,452.36 excluding VAT (£1,391,342.83 including VAT). The Bexhill Leisure Centre contract was also signed on 27 July 2026, runs from 10 August to 14 November 2026, and is worth £1,255,822.51 excluding VAT (£1,506,987.01 including VAT). The Bexhill contract includes an option for potential new solar panels. The stated classification covers leisure-centre construction and swimming-pool construction work.

This award shows that Rother District Council buys substantial, packaged refurbishment works for its leisure estate through a limited, below-threshold competition. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate suitably qualified and experienced construction capability, with practical delivery across mechanical and electrical systems, swimming-pool improvements, roofing, solar installation and internal alterations. The requirement also favours a contractor able to coordinate different trades across two named leisure facilities and manage both major refurbishment and smaller alteration works. Firms with in-house capability or dependable specialist partners in building services, roofing, renewable energy and pool construction would be well placed to respond when comparable council requirements return to the market.
