## Summary

Essex County Council commissioned drainage construction at Cressing Temple Barns, described as drainage at Cressing Barns. The work is categorised as construction and is to be delivered in the East of England. The council is the buyer, responsible for the procurement and funding. The requirement centres on drainage works at the barns; no further breakdown of the construction scope is provided in the procurement description.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Horizon Construction (East Anglia) Limited. The award was made on 5 August 2026, for £36,314.85, with a contract period from 5 August 2026 to 12 December 2027. Essex County Council used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 1 April 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was classified as works, and the opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No evaluation criteria are stated in the available process details.

This award demonstrates demand from Essex County Council for drainage construction at Cressing Temple Barns, delivered through a framework call-off. A supplier seeking to compete for a comparable requirement from this buyer would need relevant construction capability in drainage works and the capacity to deliver a defined, site-based project. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that a smaller contractor was able to secure this contract; this is a useful indication of the scale and supplier profile that can be competitive for this particular requirement. The procurement gives no stated accreditation, specialist technical standard or specific prior-experience threshold to guide future competitors, so the clearest commercial evidence is the drainage focus, the framework route and the successful SME supplier.
