UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Southend-on-Sea City Council procured light refurbishment works for Unit 8. The scope covered refurbishment of managers’ offices, administrative offices, toilets, kitchen, stairwell and boardroom, together with installation of external security measures. This is a building refurbishment and security-installation requirement, classified as refurbishment work (CPV 45453100). The council is the public-sector buyer and the works are for its premises in the Southend-on-Sea area. The procurement was arranged as a single lot and awarded to a Wickford-based property services company. The requirement would suit contractors able to coordinate internal refurbishment across several occupied or operational areas with associated external security works, rather than suppliers offering only a single trade or isolated maintenance service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a below-threshold procedure described as “unknown”, with one lot. Barling Property Services Limited was awarded the contract on 10 September 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and runs from 5 October 2026 to 6 November 2026. Its value is £33,334 excluding VAT, or £40,000.80 including VAT. The contract is active. The published outcome identifies refurbishment works as the main category, but does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or detailed award criteria. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Wickford, Essex. No cancellation or termination is recorded.

This award demonstrates demand from Southend-on-Sea City Council for compact, multi-area refurbishment projects that combine internal building works with external security measures. A credible competitor for similar council requirements would need to manage office, welfare, kitchen, circulation and meeting-room refurbishments within one coordinated programme, while also supplying or installing appropriate security measures. Relevant capability includes general building refurbishment, finishing and remedial works, kitchen and toilet upgrades, stairwell work, and the ability to coordinate security installation. The selected supplier’s SME status indicates that a smaller property services business can deliver this type of requirement. Contractors should therefore be able to demonstrate practical delivery across several trades, reliable short-project mobilisation, suitable health and safety controls, and experience completing public-sector or comparable commercial premises work.
