Summary of the contracting process

Wolverhampton City Council commissioned construction works at Colton Hills Community School in Wolverhampton. The project covers Phase 2a only, involving new and reconfigured accommodation within the existing school boundary. The scope includes a new indoor fitness suite with associated changing rooms and toilet facilities; reconfigured and extended PE changing accommodation for two groups of 30 pupils; and a sixth-form extension containing additional changing facilities and a secure archive room. This is a school construction and refurbishment requirement, including site preparation, building construction and associated engineering works. The work is for a public-sector education setting and would suit contractors able to manage several linked building elements within an occupied or operational school environment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. The tender submission deadline was 18 March 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with enquiries closing on 2 March 2026 at 12:00 UTC. One lot was used. Its estimated value was £2,000,000 excluding VAT, or £2,400,000 including VAT, and it was evaluated on commercial criteria worth 60%, quality 30% and social value 10%. E.MANTON LIMITED was selected. The contract was signed on 26 May 2026, with a contract period from 26 May to 2 October 2026. The signed contract value is £1,096,195.50 excluding VAT, or £1,315,434.60 including VAT.

This award demonstrates demand from Wolverhampton City Council for integrated school construction involving extensions, internal reconfiguration and specialist education facilities. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable work with this buyer would need credible capability in site preparation, building and engineering works, together with the capacity to coordinate changing rooms, toilets, fitness accommodation, pupil-group facilities and secure archive space as one delivery package. The evaluation places greater emphasis on commercial strength than on quality, while social value forms a distinct part of the assessment, so competitors would need a clear, competitive price and an evidenced approach to quality and local social benefits. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.
