UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Northamptonshire Council procured building works for Fairfield Primary School, Trinity Avenue, Northampton. The Fairfield School SEND Phase 1 Extension involved removing the existing temporary classroom and associated elements, followed by constructing two new classroom teaching blocks. The requirement also covers building extension, overhaul and refurbishment, and restructuring work (CPV 45262800, 45453000 and 45454000). The main delivery location is Fairfield Primary School in Northampton. This is a school construction and refurbishment requirement for contractors able to undertake removal work and deliver new teaching accommodation within an operating education setting. The council is the buyer and commissioning organisation.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was used. PGR Group Limited, trading as PGR Construction, was selected on 1 April 2026. Two active award and contract records are reported for the same lot and supplier: one contract is valued at £690,138.97 net (£828,166.76 gross), and the other at £1,251,096.78 net (£1,501,316.14 gross). The records give the same contract period, from 1 April 2026 to 31 October 2026, and both contracts were signed on 1 April 2026. The tender description records that the contract sum changed from £690,138.97 to £1,251,096.78.

This procurement demonstrates demand from West Northamptonshire Council for specialist education-sector construction, including the removal of temporary accommodation, new classroom blocks, building extensions, refurbishment and restructuring. A credible future supplier would need the capacity to deliver a complete school extension project, coordinate enabling and removal works, and construct teaching accommodation to the council’s required standard. Relevant experience in primary-school or other live education settings would help demonstrate an understanding of access, safety, programme coordination and disruption controls. The award to an SME construction business indicates that a suitably capable smaller contractor can compete for this scale of council works through a limited competition. Firms offering comparable building and refurbishment capability should monitor this buyer’s future requirements.
