Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex County Council procured construction work to refurbish the Key Stage 1 toilet facilities at Wadhurst Primary School in Wadhurst, East Sussex. The requirement was a works contract covering the refurbishment project, rather than the supply of standalone goods or routine facilities management services. The council was the buying organisation and the work was associated with its local authority estate. The procurement concerned one defined requirement under a Works PCR15 Framework, with delivery linked to Wadhurst. This is relevant to building contractors, school refurbishment specialists and firms experienced in delivering small construction projects in occupied or operational education settings, particularly those able to manage toilet and internal building refurbishment work.

The procurement has reached the awarded and contract stage. It used a limited procedure as a mini-competition under a Works PCR15 Framework, with an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The single lot was evaluated on price. Four bids were received, all from small and medium-sized enterprises, and all were submitted electronically. The contract was awarded to JOHN FARRINGTON & CO LIMITED and is recorded as active. The contract value is £81,764 GBP, and it was signed on 15 June 2026. The lot record is marked cancelled, while the award and contract records are active. The works could be extended if programme timescales slipped.

This procurement shows East Sussex County Council’s demand for competitively priced school refurbishment delivered through a works framework. A supplier seeking similar work would need credible construction capability for internal refurbishment in a primary-school environment, including the coordination and safe delivery of toilet works. Price was the stated basis for selecting the supplier, so firms would need disciplined estimating, competitive cost control and the capacity to deliver a defined project efficiently. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that a business of modest scale could be credible for this type of requirement. Relevant experience with education buildings, framework mini-competitions, electronic tendering and managing programme risks would strengthen a future response.
