Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council is procuring the installation and lease of temporary classrooms for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) as part of the Claremont redevelopment. The requirement is for temporary, modular classroom buildings, with delivery in South West England. This is a building supply and installation service, rather than a general construction project. The classrooms are intended to provide accommodation for the redevelopment project; the procurement title identifies Kingsweston as the site. The work brings together provision of the temporary buildings, their installation and their lease, so relevant suppliers need to be able to supply and install modular or portable classroom facilities.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Portakabin Ltd on 18 September 2026. Bristol City Council selected the supplier through the Procurement Services Temporary and Semi-permanent Buildings Framework. The awarded contract value is £599,888. The contract period runs from 12 October 2026 to 8 October 2029. The stated estimated range was £548,365.02 to £599,888. The tender deadline was 17 August 2026 at noon. The procurement was assessed as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No award evaluation criteria or detailed scoring basis are recorded in the available process information.

For suppliers who did not win, this award demonstrates Bristol City Council’s demand for leased temporary SEND classroom accommodation linked to school redevelopment. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to provide modular or portable classrooms, manage installation at the school site and support a multi-year lease. The successful supplier was a large specialist building provider, indicating that capacity to deliver and maintain a substantial temporary classroom installation is commercially relevant. Smaller suppliers and voluntary, community or social enterprises were considered suitable for the procurement, so the requirement was not restricted to large businesses. The route used was an established framework for temporary and semi-permanent buildings; suppliers seeking comparable work with this buyer should be capable of competing through that framework route.
