Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex County Council procured works to replace the main sports hall lighting at Battle Sports Centre in Battle, East Sussex. The requirement is classified as construction work and concerns the sports centre’s principal indoor sports hall. The council is the public-sector buyer and the work is associated with a local authority leisure facility. The scope is focused on lighting replacement rather than general building refurbishment or wider facilities management. Electrical contractors with experience planning and delivering lighting replacement works in operational sports or public buildings would find the subject matter relevant, particularly where they can manage installation work around the needs of facility users and the council’s programme.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition notice, as a mini-competition under a works PCR15 framework. The requirement was evaluated on price. The selected supplier was AJ Taylor Electrical Contractors Limited, an SME, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 30 June 2026 for £33,778.20 including the stated contract value currency of GBP. The procurement covered one requirement, with an option allowing the programme of works to be extended if timescales required it. Three bids were received, all from SMEs and all submitted electronically. The award is recorded as active.

This award demonstrates that East Sussex County Council uses a framework mini-competition to source relatively small, clearly defined electrical works for its leisure facilities. A credible future competitor would need to deliver sports hall lighting replacement safely and efficiently, with enough site and project-management capacity to work within an agreed programme. The evaluation shows that price was decisive for this requirement, so suppliers would need accurate costing, disciplined control of labour and materials, and a clear understanding of the installation scope. Relevant experience in public-sector, leisure-centre or large indoor-space lighting projects would help demonstrate capability. Framework access, or a route to participate in a similar works framework competition, would also be commercially important.
