Summary of the contracting process

City of York Council commissioned construction works for the Clifton SEND hub – Changing Place. The requirement is for a contractor to deliver a Changing Place facility as part of the hub, supporting the needs of people with special educational needs and disabilities. The work is located in Clifton, York. This is a public-sector construction opportunity rather than a supply-only or consultancy requirement. Businesses most directly relevant are building contractors able to undertake the delivery of a Changing Place facility within a wider SEND hub project. The council is the buyer and public authority responsible for the procurement. The requirement was treated as a single construction package rather than being split into multiple lots.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold open competition. One lot was evaluated using the most advantageous tender, with price weighted at 60% and quality at 40%. RDV Contracting Limited was selected as the supplier. The tender estimate was £80,000 excluding VAT (£100,000 including VAT). The contract was signed on 20 August 2026, with a contract period from 24 August 2026 to 16 October 2026. The contract value is £92,279.50 excluding VAT (£110,735.40 including VAT). The tender submission deadline was 19 May 2026 at 12:00, and the deadline for enquiries was 12 May 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submissions were allowed.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from City of York Council for construction delivery of a Changing Place facility within a SEND hub. A future competitor would need to show credible building and site-delivery capability for this type of public-sector works package, including the ability to coordinate construction within a specialist facility serving disabled users. The evaluation model indicates that both price competitiveness and quality of the proposed delivery approach matter, with quality carrying substantial weight. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so an SME construction contractor with relevant experience, reliable project management and the capacity to deliver a complete, single-lot works package could be well placed when a comparable requirement returns.
