UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement contract titled "The Hollies Special School Adaptations - Phase 1" was overseen by Cardiff Council, a sub-central government authority in the United Kingdom. This contract involved construction work for adaptations at The Hollies Special School, specifically to create ground floor classrooms and associated areas, and was successfully completed. The procurement process adopted a direct method, below threshold without competition, indicating a straightforward procurement approach. The contract, valued at £356,112 (gross £427,334) and paid in GBP, commenced on 1st July 2025 and concluded on 31st December 2025, with the contract being formally signed on 24th June 2025. The procurement stage for this process is marked as 'complete', with Trafalgar Interiors LTD named as the supplier of these services.

This contract offers significant insight into opportunities for businesses skilled in construction work, particularly those capable of executing complex adaptations in educational environments. Companies specialising in structural works, interior finishes, and mechanical and electrical installations would find such projects valuable for business growth, especially if they are prepared to engage in below-threshold, non-competitive processes. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), such as Trafalgar Interiors LTD, which was selected for this contract, are well-positioned to leverage their agility and specialisms in niche markets to secure similar contracts with sub-central government authorities across the UK.
