## Summary

Essex Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Fire and Rescue Authority commissioned demolition works at Southend Fire Station. The work comprises demolishing the existing brickwork and steel-frame drill tower and safely disposing of the materials produced. This is a site-specific demolition and clearance requirement, rather than a general building or fire-service contract. The work is at Southend Fire Station in Southend, Essex. The requirement was awarded through a demolition and site-enabling framework.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to SRC Group on 5 August 2026. The awarded value is £55,033.15. The contract period runs from 1 to 30 September 2026. The original submission deadline was 9 June 2026. This was a works procurement and the description states that the award was made under a public procurement demolition and site-enabling framework. No evaluation criteria are recorded in the published process data, so the basis for selecting the supplier cannot be established from the stated details.

This award shows that Essex’s fire and rescue authority uses a demolition and site-enabling framework for targeted demolition at its fire-service sites. A credible competitor for similar work would need to demonstrate the practical ability to dismantle substantial mixed brickwork and steel structures safely, manage the demolition site and dispose of arising materials responsibly. Relevant experience should cover work at operational public facilities, where safe working practices and control of disruption are important. The selected supplier was a large business, and the stated suitability settings do not identify the requirement as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. Firms with established demolition capacity and a track record delivering site-enabling work through framework arrangements are the closest match to the demonstrated requirement.
