Summary of the contracting process

Somerset Council has completed a procurement process to engage a lead consultant for the expansion of Herne View Primary School and the refurbishment of an Adult Education Centre to create a new Nursery facility in Ilminster. This contract, valued at £126,162.20, falls under the consultancy engineering and construction services category, and was awarded through a Mini-Competition under the SBS NHS Framework - Healthcare Planning Construction Consultancy and Ancillary Services (HPCCAS) - SBS10190. RSK Environment Limited, located in Glasgow, successfully secured the contract after the award became active on 27th November 2025, following a procurement method without prior publication due to the process falling outside of the directive's scope.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities primarily for consultancy firms specialising in design, engineering, and construction services. The contract's value and potential extension option for an additional 12 months provide long-term financial security. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) like RSK Environment Limited, particularly those involved in regional projects within the education sector, will find this opportunity aligns with their strategic objectives. The emphasis on quality and social value criteria alongside competitive pricing suggests that firms with a balanced approach to service excellence and community impact are well-positioned to succeed in such procurements.
