Summary of the contracting process

Warwickshire County Council sought an experienced modular building contractor to provide additional special educational needs provision at North Leamington School. The requirement was for a modular educational facility accommodating up to 24 children with communication and interaction needs, with approximately 266 square metres of gross internal floor area. The work covered the design and build of the modular accommodation, including associated structures and construction works. Delivery was at North Leamington School in Warwickshire, on a fully operational school site. The contractor was expected to plan and carry out the works without disrupting teaching or learning during term time or school holidays. This was a single-stage design-and-build requirement for a public-sector education setting.

The procurement reached tender: the Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It was subsequently cancelled, with no reason recorded in the published information. The tender submission deadline was 22 May 2026 at 13:00, and the deadline for enquiries was 8 May 2026 at 13:00. The contract period was 14 July 2026 to 14 July 2027. The estimated value was £970,000 excluding VAT, or £1,164,000 including VAT. There was one lot, marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Tenders were to be submitted electronically through the Council’s e-tendering portal. Evaluation was based on cost, weighted at 45%, and quality, weighted at 55%.

This opportunity suited modular construction contractors with a proven record of delivering comparable educational facilities, particularly accommodation designed for children with special educational needs. Relevant suppliers would need design-and-build capability, experience in modular structures and construction delivery, and the capacity to provide an approximately 266-square-metre facility for up to 24 pupils. The requirement also favoured contractors able to manage a live school environment safely and discreetly, coordinating work around term-time and holiday operations while protecting teaching and learning from disruption. Firms with strong quality-management, programme-control and site-management capabilities would have been well placed to compete, as quality carried greater evaluation weight than cost. The lot was identified as suitable for SMEs.
