Summary of the contracting process

Renfrewshire Council procured the design and construction of an extension to Park Mains High School in Erskine. The scheme combines new teaching and physical education annexes with an infill dining extension, alongside substantial alterations to existing school areas. The new buildings and courtyard extension cover approximately 4,330 m², with internal alterations to approximately 1,755 m² of existing floor space. External works include a covered courtyard dining area, changes to the bus drop-off area to accommodate more buses, and additional car parking. The internal changes are intended to support subject adjacencies, staff bases, increased dining and toilet capacity, and higher meal output from the school kitchen. This is a school construction and refurbishment project, including design and build services.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Renfrewshire Council used a restricted procedure, with a two-stage process intended to invite five candidates to tender. The tender deadline was 8 August 2024, and invitations to the second stage were planned for 28 August 2024. The contract was signed on 25 March 2026 and awarded to Galliford Try Construction Limited trading as Morrison Construction. Its contract value is £32 million, and the stated contract duration is 1,440 days. Evaluation was weighted 70% to technical questions and 30% to price. Candidate selection assessed technical and professional ability, design-and-build contracting, working near existing buildings, soft landings, zero defects and building information modelling. Three bids were recorded for the project.

This award demonstrates demand from Renfrewshire Council for a substantial, integrated school design-and-build project, combining new construction with alterations to an operating school environment and associated external works. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to demonstrate technical and professional ability, a strong design-and-build track record, and experience delivering safely and effectively close to existing buildings. The selection criteria also placed weight on soft landings, zero-defect delivery and building information modelling, so evidence of capability in each area would be relevant. The evaluation favoured technical quality over price, making a clear, well-supported technical response important alongside cost competitiveness. The awarded contractor was a large construction supplier; competing firms would need the capacity to coordinate design, construction and refurbishment across the project’s multiple connected elements.
