East Sussex County Council is inviting bids to replace windows at Wadhurst Primary School as part of Phase 1 of a larger window replacement project. This is a construction/maintenance contract for a school building, likely involving removal of old windows and installation of new ones.
Requirements
- No specific requirements listed in the notice — check the full tender documents for qualifications, insurance, health & safety certifications, and experience criteria.
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Remove existing windows from Wadhurst Primary School

- Make good any damage to frames, sills, or surrounding areas during removal
- Ensure works comply with building regulations and energy efficiency standards
- Coordinate with school to minimise disruption to pupils and staff
How to Read This Tender
- 1This is a 'Phase 1' project — check if there are planned phases 2, 3, etc., as winning phase 1 may lead to future work or affect your pricing strategy.
- 2Look for the full specification document which will state: exact number of windows, type/size, glazing specification (single/double/triple), frame material (uPVC/timber/aluminium), and any special features.
- 3School contracts often require DBS checks (Disclosure and Barring Service) for staff on-site — check if this applies and factor in time.
- 4Check the schedule of works carefully — schools have holidays and term times; you may be restricted to specific dates, which affects labour planning and cost.
- 5Look for any mention of 'social value' scoring — councils often award points for local hiring, apprenticeships, or community benefits, not just price.
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you're a small window installer without large project experience, consider partnering with a larger contractor as a subcontractor — this reduces your risk and bonding requirements.
- School projects need careful scheduling around term dates — factor in extra costs if you're restricted to holiday periods only, and highlight your flexibility in your bid.
- Check whether you need performance bonds or parent company guarantees — small firms often struggle here; investigate if the council will accept insurance-backed bonds instead, or partner with a bonding provider.
