## Summary

East Suffolk Council has completed the procurement process for their ‘Supply and fit of flooring’ contract, focusing on the installation of flooring in housing properties across Woodbridge, United Kingdom. This contract, under the works category, follows an open procurement method with a below-threshold competition strategy, ensuring inclusivity amongst various potential suppliers. The awarding of the contract took place on 17th April 2026, with Hicks Flooring Limited selected as the supplier. The contract is active from 17th April 2026 to 29th October 2027, with a possibility of renewal for an additional year. This procurement falls under sub-central government public authority and encompasses both tenanted and empty properties, presenting challenges such as independent power supply requirements for installations in empty properties.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in flooring installation and supply, with Hicks Flooring Limited, an SME, already demonstrating the viability of such enterprises in engaging with public sector procurement. The project's scope offers potential growth in the local market, especially for companies able to provide flexible and self-sufficient installation services due to the electricity limitations in some properties. With a gross contract value of GBP £288,000, this procurement encourages not only large firms but also SMEs capable of delivering quality service at competitive prices, bolstering their reputation and expanding their service range in public housing projects.

## Notice

The Council invites bids for a supply and installation of flooring service in support of works undertaken by the Council workforce and contractors to its housing stock. These works will include working in tenanted properties, as well as empty properties. Please note - we cannot always guarantee electricity supply within our empty properties so you must be able to provide your own power in these cases, we will make you aware if this is the case.
