East Sussex County Council Awards Construction Contract

In a recent contract award by East Sussex County Council, Morgan Sindall Construction & Infrastructure Limited has secured a project for construction works at The Joff Youth Centre in Lewes. This direct award, which was concluded on October 3, 2024, comes with a total value of £2,189,937, slightly below the initial estimate of £2,200,000. The council opted for this direct award due to the contract being under the works threshold, which allows for such expedited procurement processes.

The awarded contract follows a single tender received by the council, indicating a focused approach to engaging with trusted contractors. Morgan Sindall, based in London, is recognized for its comprehensive expertise in the construction sector and is expected to deliver quality work at the youth center. This facility aims to provide a dynamic space for community activities, enhancing the social infrastructure of East Sussex.

This decision highlights the Council’s commitment to streamlining the project delivery process while ensuring that community needs are met with efficiency and effectiveness. With the youth center's construction underway, the local community is set to benefit from improved facilities that encourage positive engagement among youth in the area.
