Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex County Council procured roof replacement works at Hankham Primary. The requirement is classified as construction work and covers the school’s roof replacement project. The council is the buying organisation, based at County Hall in Lewes, and the work is associated with Hankham Primary. The procurement was run as a mini-competition under a PCR2015 framework lot, indicating a requirement for a contractor able to deliver building works in a school setting. The selected supplier, Clarke Roofing (Southern) Limited, is based in Hailsham and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The scope is focused on roofing rather than general construction, so relevant businesses are roofing contractors with the capacity to undertake replacement works for a public-sector education site.

The procurement is complete and an active award was made to Clarke Roofing (Southern) Limited. The contract was signed on 18 May 2026 for £70,026. East Sussex County Council used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, specifically a mini-competition under a PCR2015 framework lot. The award was evaluated on price. Four bids were received; all four were from small or medium-sized enterprises and all four were submitted electronically. The tender record marks its single lot as cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The works programme could be extended if timescales slipped, and the contract is subject to the framework route used for this mini-competition.

This award demonstrates established public-sector demand for school roof replacement work from East Sussex County Council and shows that a specialist roofing SME can win the requirement through a framework mini-competition. A credible future competitor would need to provide a clear, competitively priced solution for replacing a primary school roof and be capable of carrying out construction works in an operational education environment. Access to the relevant PCR2015 framework route would be important, since this procurement was run as a framework mini-competition rather than an openly advertised competition. The four-bid field, with every bid submitted electronically, indicates competition from several SMEs and a fully electronic response process. Roofing firms seeking similar work should therefore combine school-site delivery capability, reliable programming and strong price competitiveness.
