Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council initiated a public procurement process for the project titled "St Mary's Church of England Primary School - Shipping Container Modular Solution" located in Boston Spa, West Yorkshire. The procurement belonged to the construction industry, specifically focusing on large containers and building construction work. Initially active, the tender process, governed by open competition, was eventually cancelled due to budgetary constraints, and thus no contract was awarded. The tender intended to close by 28th April 2025 after the enquiry period ended on 21st April 2025, with the contract period initially scheduled from 9th June to 29th August 2025.

This tender offered substantial opportunities for businesses experienced in delivering and installing modular solutions under constrained site conditions, particularly those equipped to handle the health and safety requirements of a live school environment. It valued contributions that reduced carbon footprints and committed to using locally sourced subcontractors, favouring SMEs. Although the procurement did not proceed to award, tenderers were evaluated on a quality-price basis, suggesting future opportunities for suitably capable firms in upcoming procurement activities from Leeds City Council and similar public authorities.
