Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Berkshire Council procured construction works for its Brookfields Accessibility Project, classified as special-school construction. The scope is described as the work set out in Schedule 2 of the specification. The project is associated with Newbury, Berkshire; the listed delivery postcode is RG14 5LD. This is a council project focused on accessibility at Brookfields, rather than a general school-building requirement. The buying organisation is West Berkshire Council, based in Newbury. The published scope points interested businesses towards the project specification for the detailed construction requirements, while the award confirms that a contractor was selected to carry out the works.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Etec Contract Services Ltd. West Berkshire Council used a restricted procedure, described as a further competition. The award date was 15 July 2026, and the contract period runs from 27 July to 16 October 2026. The reported award value is £0, so it does not provide a usable indication of the contract’s commercial value. The tender deadline was 18 June 2026 at 11:00. The requirement was treated as works and was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria or lot breakdown are reported in the process information.

For construction firms specialising in school buildings and accessibility improvements, this award is evidence that West Berkshire Council has bought project-specific works through a further competition under a restricted procedure. A credible competitor for a future Brookfields requirement would need to demonstrate the ability to deliver construction work within an operational education setting and to meet the accessibility outcomes set out in the project specification. Experience of managing a defined, short-duration construction package and coordinating delivery to the council’s requirements would be relevant. The selected supplier, Etec Contract Services Ltd, shows that a contract services business was appointed, but the available procurement details do not establish particular accreditations, technical qualifications, staffing levels or specialist methods. The stated unsuitability for SMEs indicates that the requirement was not positioned for small or medium-sized suppliers to compete as such.
