Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex County Council procured construction works for a replacement Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) access ramp at Sackville House in Lewes. The requirement is a single ramp project intended to improve accessible access to the council-owned building. The buying organisation is East Sussex County Council, based in Lewes, and the works are delivered at Sackville House, Lewes. This is a small, defined construction requirement rather than a broad building or maintenance programme. Businesses relevant to this opportunity would include contractors experienced in access improvements, ramp construction and associated building works. The procurement falls within the general construction work category and is focused on delivering the replacement ramp at the named property.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to JG & JR Landgridge Limited, an SME. The contract value is £97,291 GBP and it was signed on 20 April 2026. The council used a limited procedure without publishing a prior call for competition, running the project as a mini-competition under a PCR 2015 framework lot. The award was based on price. Five bids were received, all from SMEs and all submitted electronically. The tender records the lot as cancelled, while the award and contract are active. The procurement included an option for the programme to be extended if the works timetable slipped. The award was made under a framework arrangement rather than an open competition.

This award demonstrates demand from East Sussex County Council for specialist, relatively small-scale construction work improving accessibility at public buildings. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need practical experience delivering DDA-compliant ramps and related access works, with the ability to work safely and efficiently at an occupied or operational public-sector property. Strong price competitiveness matters because the award was evaluated on price alone. The result also shows that SMEs can compete successfully through a framework mini-competition, and that electronic bid submission is part of the route used for this buyer. Relevant contractors should therefore maintain framework access, provide clear costed proposals and demonstrate reliable delivery of focused public-building construction projects.
