Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex County Council procured refurbishment works for the Early Years toilets at Pevensey and Westham Primary School. The scope is described as an Early Years WC refurbishment, covering building work at the school in Pevensey and Westham, East Sussex. This is a school-estates refurbishment requirement rather than a supply contract or an ongoing facilities service. The work was procured as one package, so the requirement centred on delivering the refurbishment as a whole rather than separate trade or site lots.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to George Stone Limited. East Sussex County Council used a mini-competition under a framework, with a limited procedure and no separately published competition call. Four bids were received, all from SMEs and submitted electronically. Price was the stated award criterion. The contract was signed on 16 September 2026 and is active, with a recorded value of £51,581. The requirement was arranged as a single lot, but that lot is marked cancelled while the award and contract are recorded as active; the published outcome therefore contains conflicting status information. The procurement allowed for the programme of works to be extended if needed.

For contractors serving school estates, this award demonstrates demand for small-scale primary-school toilet refurbishment in East Sussex, delivered through a framework mini-competition. A credible competitor would need practical building-refurbishment capability suited to work in a live school environment, and the ability to coordinate the trades and programme needed to complete an Early Years WC upgrade. The four bids were all from SMEs, showing that this scale of requirement drew competition from smaller businesses as well as being accessible through a framework route. Suppliers with relevant school refurbishment experience, reliable programme management and a track record of delivering complete WC projects would be well placed to compete when the council next needs this specific type of work.
