Summary of the contracting process

The Bishop of Winchester Academy Trust has successfully completed the tender process for the construction of a Modular Classroom Block in Bournemouth, UK, under the 'works' industry category. The project involved the off-site construction and installation of prefabricated classroom buildings, with related groundworks and foundations. Pickerings Hire Limited has been awarded the contract following a limited competition procurement method due to the below-threshold nature of the project. This award was finalised on the 23rd of January 2026, with the construction period lasting until the 30th of September 2026. The trust is classified as a public authority within sub-central government, offering significant opportunities within the education sector.

This procurement process opens pathways for businesses specialising in modular building solutions, including prefabricated constructions, as well as those with expertise in groundworks and foundations. Large-scale construction companies like Pickerings Hire Limited, which focus on providing comprehensive modular solutions, are ideally placed to leverage this opportunity. Additionally, companies within the construction industry aiming to expand their presence in educational infrastructure projects could consider similar tenders to enhance their business growth.
