Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cheshire East Borough Council procured building services engineering services for the conversion of the former Westfields Council Office Building in Sandbach into a new special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) school. The requirement covers engineering input associated with the building conversion and falls within architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services. Delivery is in the North West of England, at Westfields in Sandbach. The buyer is Cheshire East Borough Council, based in Crewe. This is a professional services opportunity for building services engineering practices able to support the adaptation of an existing public building for education use, including the technical design and engineering considerations needed for a new SEND school.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective restricted procedure. Bids were due by 17 April 2026 at 12 noon. Cheshire East Borough Council awarded the contract to ECS Consultants Limited on 6 May 2026 for £25,600 including the stated currency of GBP. The awarded contract period runs from 10 August 2026 to 30 October 2026. The tender was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award covers the building services engineering requirement for the Westfields conversion in Sandbach. The published outcome records one active award and one supplier; the procurement value and awarded value are both £25,600 GBP. The contract period recorded against the award starts on 10 August 2026 and ends on 30 October 2026.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for a small or medium-sized building services engineering practice to support the conversion of an existing council building into a SEND school. A credible future competitor would need experience of building services engineering for refurbishment or conversion projects, rather than only new-build work, and the ability to deliver coordinated technical services within a short project period. Relevant capability may include designing and coordinating mechanical, electrical and public-health systems for an education building, while responding to the specialist operational needs of SEND provision. Firms targeting similar work from Cheshire East Borough Council should be able to show dependable delivery, public-sector project experience and sufficient professional capacity to support a live conversion project in the Sandbach area.
