UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Mercian Trust is procuring refurbishment and alteration works at its Great Barr site in Walsall. The scope is the construction of new partition walls to enclose a classroom and an office on the lower floor, together with associated finishes, fixtures and services alterations in the IT and DT rooms. This is a building and internal fit-out requirement, suited to contractors able to coordinate partitioning, finishing work and building services changes within an education setting. The tender documents were produced by Rush Davis Architects, while CPC is administering the procurement. The work is categorised as refurbishment work and is classified as works rather than goods or services.

The procurement has reached tender: The Mercian Trust invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries were due by 12:00 on 21 July 2026, and tender submissions were due by 12:00 on 7 August 2026. The contract period is 10 August 2026 to 1 September 2026. Its estimated value is £50,000 excluding VAT and £60,000 including VAT. There is one lot, covering the complete requirement. Award is based entirely on price, weighted at 100%. Electronic submission is allowed through the MultiQuote supplier portal. The description allows an alternative arrangement for completing the works as a continuous contract where the summer holiday completion timeframe cannot be met.

This opportunity suits construction and refurbishment contractors with practical experience creating internal partitions and delivering associated finishes, fixtures and building-services alterations. It is particularly relevant to firms that can manage coordinated works across IT, design-and-technology, classroom and office environments, while maintaining appropriate control of work in an education setting. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so it is accessible to smaller contractors and mission-led organisations with the necessary delivery capability. Suppliers should be able to programme and resource a compact fit-out project, coordinate trades, and work from architect-prepared tender information. Contractors able to offer flexible delivery arrangements may also be well placed where the preferred holiday-period programme is unsuitable.
