Summary of the contracting process

Herefordshire Council procured construction and refurbishment works to improve existing teaching spaces for additional support at St Martins Primary School. The requirement covers primary school construction work and refurbishment work within Herefordshire. It is a works contract focused on adapting or enhancing teaching areas so the school can provide additional support. The council is the public-sector buyer and the named supplier is SC Joseph Ltd. The opportunity was presented as a single requirement rather than a series of separate work packages. It is relevant to contractors with experience of carrying out refurbishment and construction work in a live or operational primary-school environment, particularly where changes to teaching spaces must support the school’s additional-needs provision and maintain suitable conditions for pupils and staff.

The procurement has reached the awarded stage and the tender is complete. Herefordshire Council used an open competition below the applicable threshold. The tender submission deadline was 1 May 2026 at 12:00, with enquiries closing on 24 April 2026 at 12:00. The single lot was awarded to SC Joseph Ltd. The estimated lot value was £180,000 excluding VAT, or £216,000 including VAT. Evaluation was based on quality at 48%, price at 40% and social value at 12%. The contract was signed on 1 May 2026 and is active from 1 May 2026 to 5 June 2027. Its value is £218,528.84 excluding VAT, or £262,234.61 including VAT. Electronic submission was allowed.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Herefordshire Council for school refurbishment and construction that enables additional support in existing teaching spaces. A credible future competitor would need practical experience delivering primary-school construction and refurbishment, with the ability to work around pupils, staff and school operations. The evaluation places greater emphasis on quality than price, while social value also carries a defined weighting, so suppliers would need to show sound technical planning, reliable delivery and clear community benefits rather than compete on cost alone. The work is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating that a capable local or specialist contractor could be well placed when a similar requirement returns to the market.
