## Summary

East Sussex County Council procured construction works for the expansion of special educational needs provision at Heathfield Community College. The requirement is categorised as construction work and concerns the delivery of building or associated works needed to expand the college’s SEN facilities. The buying organisation is East Sussex County Council, a sub-central public authority based in Lewes. The work is for Heathfield Community College in East Sussex. This opportunity is relevant to construction contractors with experience delivering education-sector building projects, particularly works that support special educational needs facilities. The requirement is focused on a single school expansion project rather than a broad programme of construction services across multiple sites or authorities.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The requirement was a single lot. East Sussex County Council awarded the contract to BMR Construction Limited, an SME, on 23 July 2026. The active contract was signed on 23 July 2026 and runs from 23 July 2026 to 31 October 2026. Its value is £594,373.52 excluding VAT and £713,248.22 including VAT. The contract uses a JCT Works contract and includes an option for the timescales to be extended. The awarded work is construction work for the Heathfield Community College SEN expansion. The procurement’s recorded status is complete and the award is active.

This award shows that East Sussex County Council buys focused construction packages for expanding special educational needs provision in schools, using a below-threshold limited competition route. A credible future competitor would need to deliver education-sector construction works for a live school environment and manage the practical requirements of expanding specialist facilities. Relevant capability includes planning and delivering a defined building project, coordinating safely with the college and its stakeholders, and completing works to the required programme and JCT contractual terms. The award to an SME indicates that a business of this scale can compete for the requirement, either as a directly capable contractor or through a suitable delivery team. Experience of school expansion and SEN-related construction would strengthen a supplier’s position when this buyer next requires similar works.
