Summary of the contracting process

East Suffolk Council procured building refurbishment works for two blocks on Weston Road in Lowestoft. The scope covers rebuilding the front elevation and refurbishing both blocks, including building installation and building completion work. This is a construction requirement focused on external structural and finishing works to existing residential or other occupied buildings. The contracting authority is East Suffolk Council, based in Woodbridge, and the work is located in Lowestoft. The procurement was arranged as a single lot. Businesses relevant to this requirement include building contractors with experience in refurbishment, front-elevation reconstruction, installation work and completion trades, particularly those able to coordinate several work packages on a small property project.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. East Rising Limited was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 17 August 2026 and runs from 18 August 2026 to 18 October 2026. Its value is £24,284.19 excluding VAT, or £29,141.03 including VAT. The award is for works rather than goods or services, and the tender status is complete while the contract is active. The evaluation route was limited competition, meaning a restricted group of suppliers was invited to compete rather than an open market exercise. The award provides a clear example of East Suffolk Council procuring a defined, short-duration refurbishment project at below the applicable threshold.

For a competitor, this award indicates demand for compact building refurbishment projects delivered directly for East Suffolk Council. A credible supplier for similar work would need practical capability in rebuilding front elevations, refurbishing more than one block, and completing associated building installation and finishing work. The requirement suits a contractor able to manage a focused works package from mobilisation through completion, coordinate different construction trades and work efficiently on an existing property site. East Rising Limited is recorded as an SME, showing that this scale and type of council construction work can be delivered by a smaller specialist contractor rather than only by a major national firm. Relevant evidence would include comparable refurbishment projects, competent site management and reliable delivery across a short programme.
