Summary of the contracting process

Somerset Council has completed a public procurement process involving the construction of external works, including the installation of play equipment and fencing, for a new Special Educational Needs (SEN) base at Northgate School in Bridgwater. The main procurement category for this project resides within the 'works' industry. The procurement was conducted through a direct method, classified as below-threshold, without competition, and has reached the award stage. The procurement was awarded to Adrian Morris & Partners, a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) located in Taunton. The contract, valued at £34,409 gross, was signed on 22 June 2026, with the works scheduled to commence on 13 July 2026 and conclude by 28 August 2026.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses, particularly those in the construction and equipment installation sectors, to grow by engaging in public sector contracts and potentially forming ongoing relationships with local government entities. While Adrian Morris & Partners has been awarded this contract, other businesses specialising in fencing, play equipment, and safety equipment installation could find similar opportunities in future projects. SMEs with the capacity to deliver high-quality external works in the education sector should monitor upcoming procurement opportunities from sub-central government bodies like Somerset Council to expand their operations and client base within this market.
