UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

East Suffolk Council commissioned security works for the Beach Office counter at Victoria Block in Lowestoft. The work covers fencing and gate installation, anti-climb rollers, powder-coated stainless-steel curved railings, and a polycarbonate security screen with a side door. The purpose of the screen is to improve security at the Beach Office counter. This is a small, site-specific building and security installation rather than a general equipment supply contract. The requirement combines fabrication or supply of security features with their installation, including fencing, railings and a security screen. The named delivery location is Lowestoft, Suffolk.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to P.J. Spillings (Builders) Limited. East Suffolk Council used a direct award, described as below-threshold and without competition. The award date was 1 September 2026. The award value is £50,000 excluding VAT (£60,000 including VAT). The contract period runs from 5 October to 6 November 2026. The procurement was arranged as one lot, covering the security installation works as a single package. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and the work awarded; it does not provide a comparative evaluation basis, since the procedure was conducted without competition.

For suppliers tracking East Suffolk Council's requirements, this award demonstrates demand for practical building-security upgrades at public-facing facilities: secure counter screens, gates, fencing, anti-climb measures and fitted metal railings. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to deliver a coordinated installation, with the ability to supply or fabricate suitable security components and fit them on site as one works package. Experience combining building works with security-focused installations would be relevant, particularly where the work must protect staff or public-service premises. The selected contractor is an SME, showing that this requirement was delivered by a smaller business. The direct-award route means this outcome does not establish a competitive scoring model or named technical accreditation requirement.
