UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Southend-on-Sea City Council procured works to remove reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) and replace the roof at Dixon Studio, part of the Palace Theatre in Southend-on-Sea. The scope also included replacing the building’s mechanical and electrical services. This is a building refurbishment and specialist construction requirement, with the principal classification covering roof works and other special trade construction works. The work is therefore relevant to contractors able to manage structural or building-safety remediation, roof replacement and associated building-services installation in an operational theatre or similar public building. The council is the public-sector buyer, and delivery is at the Dixon Studio, Palace Theatre, Southend-on-Sea.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold tender process, with one completed lot. EDMUNDS DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION LTD was awarded the contract on 7 August 2026, and the contract was signed on 7 August 2026. The contract value is £195,331.54 excluding VAT, or £234,397.85 including VAT. The contract period runs from 10 August 2026 to 26 October 2026. The award is active and the contract is active. The published procurement information identifies the work category and scope, but does not set out an award-criteria weighting or a detailed evaluation formula. This outcome shows a single supplier selected for the full requirement rather than separate awards for different elements.

This procurement is commercially relevant to small and medium-sized construction firms that can deliver a combined package of RAAC removal, roof replacement and mechanical and electrical services replacement. A credible competitor for equivalent work would need practical experience in specialist roof and building refurbishment projects, safe management of structural or construction risks, and the capacity to coordinate several technical trades within a public cultural building. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement was deliverable by a business of that scale rather than only by a major national contractor. Firms with proven theatre, heritage, civic or other occupied-building experience would be well placed to demonstrate comparable control of access, safety, sequencing and service continuity.
