## Summary

Rother District Council commissioned material and structural investigations for the De La Warr Pavilion. The requirement covers concrete and steel testing, timber inspections, structural surveys, a desk-based feasibility study and related investigative work. The purpose is to assess the condition of the building and support the council’s future planning and maintenance activities. This is a professional building-surveying and engineering services requirement, combining physical testing and inspection with analysis and advice. The work is associated with the De La Warr Pavilion and is delivered within the council’s area in East Sussex. The procurement was arranged as a single service lot, covering the full investigation requirement rather than separate packages for individual materials or survey activities.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Rother District Council used a below-threshold limited competition. RSK ENVIRONMENT LIMITED was selected as supplier for the single lot. The contract was signed on 11 August 2025 and runs from 11 August 2025 to 17 September 2026. Its value is £57,561 excluding VAT, or £69,073.20 including VAT. The published award identifies the requirement primarily as feasibility study, advisory service and analysis work. The award is active and the contract is active. The recorded procurement outcome shows that the council evaluated and selected a supplier through a limited competition for the complete material site-investigation service.

This procurement demonstrates demand from a district council for integrated building-condition investigation rather than a single testing service. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would combine structural surveying with laboratory or on-site testing of concrete and steel, timber inspection, building assessment, feasibility analysis and practical advice for maintenance planning. Credible competitors would need the technical depth to interpret findings across different materials and disciplines, coordinate investigative activities at an occupied or publicly significant building, and produce clear evidence to support future capital decisions. Experience of historic, civic, cultural or complex public buildings would be relevant to the De La Warr Pavilion requirement. The selected supplier was a large environmental and engineering consultancy, indicating a market in which broad multidisciplinary capability can be important.
