Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council commissioned works to refurbish the kitchen and adjacent mess room at Shoreham Fire Station. The scope covered the supply and installation of appliances, fixtures, fittings and new or renewed surfaces. This is a building refurbishment and fit-out requirement, with the classification indicating fire station construction work (CPV 45216121). The work is for a council-owned or managed operational fire-station facility, so the requirement concerns an occupied public-service setting rather than a standalone domestic kitchen. Businesses relevant to this opportunity include contractors delivering commercial kitchen refurbishments, internal building works, facilities fit-outs, and associated electrical, plumbing, joinery or finishing work. The buying organisation is West Sussex County Council, based at County Hall in Chichester, and the delivery location is Shoreham Fire Station.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was completed. West Sussex County Council awarded the contract to Concept Design Solutions Ltd, an SME, on 19 August 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and is active from 19 August 2026 to 2 October 2027. Its gross value is £111,164.52 including taxes, in GBP. The award concerns the full kitchen and adjacent mess-room refurbishment. The process used a limited procedure rather than an open competition, and the published outcome records the selected supplier and active contract. The award and contract are below the applicable threshold. No evaluation weighting or specific award criteria are recorded in the procurement information.

This award demonstrates a council requirement for a small-to-medium commercial refurbishment combining kitchen installation with adjacent staff welfare or mess-room works in a fire-station environment. Suppliers that would be credible for a future requirement of this kind would need to coordinate multiple trades and deliver appliances, fixtures, fittings and durable internal surfaces as one managed package. Relevant capability includes commercial kitchen fitting, building refurbishment, joinery, plumbing, electrical services, surface finishes and the safe management of work around an operational emergency-service site. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that the scale and delivery model can suit smaller established contractors as well as larger building or facilities-management businesses. Evidence of comparable public-sector or operational-site refurbishments, reliable programme management and coordinated subcontractors would strengthen a competing supplier’s position.
