Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex County Council procured refurbishment works for the toilets at Icklesham Primary School. The requirement is a construction project focused on upgrading school toilet facilities. The work is associated with Icklesham Primary and is therefore relevant to building contractors, refurbishment specialists and firms experienced in delivering works in an occupied or operational school environment. The council is a local authority based in Lewes. The selected supplier, John Farrington & Co Limited, is based in Hailsham and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The procurement falls within the construction works category. Its stated purpose was to deliver the Icklesham Primary toilet refurbishment programme, with the scope grouped as a single requirement.

The procurement is complete and a supplier was selected through a limited procedure without a prior published competition. It was run as a mini-competition under a works PCR15 framework. Four bids were received, all from small or medium-sized enterprises, and all were submitted electronically. The contract was awarded to John Farrington & Co Limited. The contract value is £40,259 and the contract was signed on 24 June 2026. The requirement was evaluated on price. It was arranged as one lot, although that lot is recorded as cancelled while the award and contract are active. The buyer retained an option to extend the programme if the works timetable required it. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for school toilet refurbishment delivered through a works framework mini-competition, with price as the stated evaluation basis. A supplier seeking to compete when comparable work returns would need credible construction and refurbishment capability focused on toilet or other school building works, together with the capacity to deliver a complete programme for a primary school site. The result also shows that small and medium-sized enterprises can compete for this type of council works requirement: all four recorded bidders were SMEs, and the selected contractor is an SME. Businesses with relevant completed school or public-sector refurbishment experience, a clear cost model and the ability to submit bids electronically through the applicable framework route would be well placed.
