Summary of the contracting process

Brooklands Technical College procured a main contractor for the New Vickers Building at its Weybridge Campus. The requirement covers construction of a new three-storey college building and associated external works, making this a substantial education construction project rather than a standalone professional service or supply contract. The buying organisation is Brooklands Technical College. The procurement is classified as construction work for college buildings (CPV 45214300), with the work delivered at the college’s Weybridge site. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations. The selected contractor is Beard Construction, a large construction business, indicating that the project required an established main-contractor capability covering overall delivery of the building and external works.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Brooklands Technical College used an above-threshold open procedure. The tender closed on 7 November 2025, following an enquiry deadline of 28 October 2025; the award decision was due by 8 February 2026. One lot was evaluated on price weighted at 60% and quality at 40%. Four valid bids were received. Beard Construction was awarded the contract on 10 March 2026 for £8,969,040. The award contract period was 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The subsequently signed contract is dated 1 July 2026, runs to 7 June 2027 and is valued at £10,578,812.40 excluding VAT, or £12,694,574.88 including VAT. A standstill period ended on 25 March 2026.

This award is useful market evidence for contractors specialising in education and other public-sector new-build projects, particularly firms able to act as principal or main contractor for multi-storey buildings with associated external works. A credible competitor would need demonstrable business quality standards, relevant accreditations and directly relevant construction experience, supported by the financial and technical capacity to manage a sizeable, complex project. The evaluation shows that both commercial competitiveness and delivery quality mattered, with quality carrying substantial weight alongside price. The four valid bids show an established competitive market for this type of work. Smaller firms and social enterprises were expressly considered suitable, so a capable SME or VCSE could be relevant, either as a main contractor or as part of a suitably qualified delivery team.
