Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council commissioned construction works for a new special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) unit at Fernwood Academy School. The requirement is a building project intended to provide dedicated SEND facilities within the school. It falls within construction work (CPV 45000000) and is categorised as works rather than goods or services. Delivery is in England, at Fernwood Academy School. The procurement was called off from Lot 4 of the Scape Regional Construction Framework, so the work is relevant to construction contractors with experience of delivering school or other public-sector building projects, particularly those able to undertake a complete construction requirement for a specialist educational facility. The council is the buying organisation and is based at Loxley House, Station Street, Nottingham.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Nottingham City Council used a call-off from the Scape Regional Construction Framework, Lot 4, with the procurement described as an ‘Other’ method. The tender submission deadline was 26 June 2026 at 12 noon. G F Tomlinson/Tomlinson Homes was awarded the contract on 2 July 2026 for £3,064,406.09 including the stated currency of GBP. The award is active, and the contract period runs from 17 July 2026 to 25 May 2027. The tender carried an overall value of £3,064,406.09. The published outcome identifies one supplier and does not provide a separate weighting or detailed description of the evaluation criteria.

This award is evidence that Nottingham City Council uses the Scape Regional Construction Framework to procure substantial school construction projects, including specialist SEND facilities. Competitors preparing for similar work with this buyer would need a credible construction delivery capability, experience of building or adapting educational premises, and the capacity to manage a complete project of this type. Framework access or a suitable route to participate in framework call-offs would be commercially important. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, although the selected supplier is recorded as a large organisation. Firms with relevant school-construction experience could use this requirement to assess the scale, public-sector route and specialist educational focus likely to matter in future opportunities.
