Summary of the contracting process

Milton Keynes Council procured construction works for the Tickford Park Primary School SEND Unit Capital Project. The requirement was to refurbish the school’s special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) unit, making this a building refurbishment and associated construction opportunity rather than a routine supply or consultancy contract. Delivery was in the South East of England, with the project identified with Tickford Park Primary School. The buying organisation was Milton Keynes Council. The procurement was classified as construction work and its main category was works. The requirement is relevant to contractors with experience delivering refurbishment or capital projects in occupied or education settings, particularly where the work supports specialist school facilities and SEND provision.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Milton Keynes Council used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 26 June 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 27 July 2026 to Ashe Construction Ltd for £101,187.90 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 3 August 2026 to 31 August 2027. The awarded value matches the procurement value recorded for the project. This is an active award for the full refurbishment requirement, rather than an opportunity divided into separately reported lots or awards.

For businesses reviewing future public-sector construction demand, this procurement shows Milton Keynes Council buying a focused school refurbishment project through a framework call-off. It provides a useful benchmark for contractors targeting capital works for primary schools and specialist SEND facilities in the South East. A credible competitor would need practical construction and refurbishment capability, the capacity to deliver a defined school capital project, and an appropriate route to public-sector work through a relevant framework. The requirement was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that organisations of those types can be relevant participants where they have the necessary construction capability and framework access.
