The contract, valued at £353,913.98, falls under the 'works' category and was awarded without competition under a direct procurement method, being below the threshold. The procurement process reached the award stage, with the contract signed on 21st August 2025. The project's scope includes constructing three timber buildings, incorporating two classrooms, a storeroom, and additional structures like a freestanding canopy, along with other enhancements.
