Summary of the contracting process

Adur District Council procured works to renew the eastern flat roof area at Southwick Leisure Centre, with the title also referring to the eastern and southern flat roofs. The requirement is roof repair and maintenance work, covering the fabric and associated construction activity needed to restore the leisure centre’s flat-roof areas. The work is for a council-owned public leisure facility in Southwick, supporting the continued use of the centre by the local community. This is a single works requirement rather than a wider facilities-management service, so it is most relevant to roofing contractors and building contractors with direct experience of commercial or public-sector flat-roof renewal and repair projects.

The procurement has been awarded following a completed below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Rivercrest Limited trading as Richard Soan Roofing Services, a Lewes-based SME, on 8 September 2026. The award is worth £115,911.40 excluding VAT, or £139,093.68 including VAT. The awarded contract period runs from 26 October 2026 to 4 December 2026, with signature scheduled for 20 October 2026. Two bids were received and both reached the final stage; both final-stage bidders were SMEs. The process used a limited procurement method rather than an open competition, and the tender has a completed status. The awarded supplier is responsible for the roof repair and maintenance works for the single lot.

This award provides a clear benchmark for roofing firms seeking comparable public-sector work with Adur District Council. A credible competitor would need the specialist capability to renew and repair large flat-roof areas at an operational leisure facility, while planning and delivering a concentrated works programme safely and with minimal disruption to building users. Relevant experience should include commercial roof repair and maintenance, surveying existing roof condition, preparing a practical renewal solution and coordinating site activity with a public-sector client. The competition attracted two bids, both from SMEs, showing that a smaller specialist contractor can compete for this scale of council works. Firms should be able to demonstrate reliable delivery, suitable site management and capacity for a short, defined construction project.
