UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

East Suffolk Council commissioned refurbishment and conversion works at Avenue Mansions, an existing building in North Lowestoft. The building comprises 12 flats, office space, a cellar, a central staircase and a lift; the project is intended to create 14 flats and amenity space. This is a main-contractor requirement for the renovation and conversion of a run-down residential building, rather than a standalone supply contract. The work is delivered in Lowestoft, Suffolk. The council is the buyer and project owner.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to P J Spillings (Builders) Ltd. East Suffolk Council used a below-threshold limited competition. There was one lot, covering the refurbishment and conversion works. The contract was signed on 24 September 2026 and runs from 25 September 2026 to 2 July 2027. Its value is £1,878,807.61 excluding VAT (£2,254,569.13 including VAT). The published procurement information does not state the evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

This award shows East Suffolk Council buying a substantial, integrated refurbishment and conversion project to increase housing provision in an existing building while retaining amenity space. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to act as the main contractor and demonstrate relevant experience refurbishing existing residential or mixed-use buildings, coordinating work across flats and shared spaces, and managing the conversion of non-residential areas. The selected contractor is a building company recorded as an SME, showing that this project was awarded to a small or medium-sized supplier. The limited-competition route is relevant to suppliers able to compete through that process. The works indicate demand for delivery capacity across a whole-building project, including its existing circulation and building services.
