Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex County Council procured construction works to replace the flat roof at Priory School. The requirement was a single school roofing project, covering the physical replacement works rather than a general property maintenance service. The work is located in East Sussex. The procurement was classified as construction work (CPV 45000000) and categorised as works. The council was the buying organisation and the requirement was delivered for its school estate. This opportunity is therefore most relevant to roofing contractors, building contractors and specialist construction firms with the resources to undertake flat-roof replacement works in a school environment, including the associated site management, protection and coordination needed to work around an operating public-sector education setting.

The procurement has reached the award stage and the tender is complete. East Sussex County Council used a limited mini-competition under a works PCR15 Framework, using an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The single lot was evaluated on price and included an option allowing the programme of works to extend timescales. The lot is recorded as cancelled, but an active award and active contract are recorded for Rivercrest Limited. The contract was signed on 6 July 2026 for £459,090.56 including the stated currency of GBP. Two bids were received, both from SMEs and both submitted electronically. The contract period dates are not stated in the procurement record.

This procurement demonstrates established demand from East Sussex County Council for substantial school roofing construction, delivered through a works framework mini-competition and assessed on price. A credible future supplier would need demonstrable competence in flat-roof replacement, enough operational capacity for a project of this scale, and the ability to plan and deliver safely in a school setting. Relevant strengths would include experienced roofing and site-management teams, robust health and safety arrangements, protection of pupils, staff and school operations, and reliable programme control where works may need to extend. The award to an SME and the participation of two SMEs indicate that smaller construction businesses can be competitive for this type of council requirement when they can evidence the necessary technical capability and delivery capacity.
