## Summary

East Sussex County Council commissioned construction work at Western Road Community Primary School in East Sussex. The project covers the provision of a care suite and toilets for a reception class. It is a school building and refurbishment requirement, suitable for contractors able to deliver small-scale education-sector construction works within an occupied or operational school environment. The scope is presented as a single package rather than separate specialist services, with the care suite and reception class toilets forming the core requirement. The procurement was run by the county council, which is responsible for commissioning the works. The requirement falls within general construction work and concerns the physical improvement and adaptation of school premises for pupils and school users.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to J. Cheesmur & Sons (Lewes) Limited, an SME. The contract was signed on 22 June 2026 and has a value of £180,633. The council used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, running the project as a mini-competition under a Works PCR15 Framework. The award was based on price. There was one package covering the care suite and reception class toilets, with an option for the programme of works to be extended if timescales moved. Three bids were received, all from SMEs and all submitted electronically. The contract is recorded as active.

This outcome indicates demand from East Sussex County Council for school construction and adaptation projects combining practical building work with specialist facilities for children. A credible future competitor would need experience delivering care or welfare spaces, school toilets and associated refurbishment works, together with the project management discipline needed to coordinate several elements within one package. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement was within the capability of a smaller construction business rather than restricted to a major national contractor. Suppliers should be comfortable competing through a Works PCR15 Framework mini-competition, submitting electronically and demonstrating a competitive price. Relevant education-sector references, reliable delivery planning and the capacity to manage changing programme timescales would strengthen their position.
