Summary of the contracting process

Telford and Wrekin Council commissioned a complete modular early-years building for John Fletcher of Madeley. The works cover design, delivery and installation of a Department for Education-compliant building with two classrooms for Reception and Year 1, early-years sanitary facilities, a staff toilet, breakout space, storage and a fully enclosed outdoor learning environment. The contractor is also responsible for removing and disposing of the existing modular building. Fire safety requirements include appropriate compartmentation, alarms and signage, with the new fire alarm linked to the existing school system and fire-rated separation from the neighbouring school building. Future refurbishment or relocation of the existing demountable building is to be discussed with the employer’s agent. The delivery location is in the Telford area.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to R G Stones (Buildings) Ltd following a restricted procedure. The award date was 11 March 2026, and the contract period runs from 13 April to 29 June 2026. The awarded value is £527,860. The submission deadline was 6 March 2026. The work was procured as a single requirement, with no lots described. The procurement was classified as construction work. The published data does not set out an evaluation basis or detailed participation criteria, so the award outcome cannot be used to infer how bids were scored or what minimum qualifications were applied. The selected supplier is a building contractor, and the work combines design and construction with delivery, installation and removal of an existing modular facility.

This award demonstrates a requirement for a turnkey school building project that brings together modular design, manufacture or sourcing, delivery, installation and site clearance. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to coordinate these elements and provide a complete early-years teaching environment, including classrooms, sanitary facilities, staff space, storage and secure outdoor learning space. The specification also points to the need to work to Department for Education building requirements and statutory fire guidance, deliver suitable compartmentation and signage, integrate a new fire alarm with an existing school system, and provide fire-rated separation where required. Suppliers would be better placed if they can manage work on an operating school site and coordinate with the employer’s agent on existing buildings. The stated SME suitability is false, indicating the opportunity was not marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.
