The project is classified under primary school construction and refurbishment works within the Yorkshire and the Humber region. The selective procurement method used a restricted procedure completed with an award to R H Fullwood & Co Ltd. The total contract value is £792,980, with construction set to commence on 26th January 2026 and conclude by 14th August 2026.

This contract presents growth opportunities, particularly beneficial for businesses specialising in educational facility construction or refurbishment and those with a strong track record in handling special educational needs requirements.
