Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wirral Council procured one double temporary classroom for Fender Primary School, New Hey Road, Woodchurch, Wirral, CH49 8HB. The works included preparing the ground, delivering and installing the modular classroom, connecting electricity and surface and foul water services, testing and commissioning, and removing the building and making good the site at the end of the hire. This is a temporary education accommodation requirement combining construction and modular building hire. The primary work category is building construction. The buyer is Wirral Council, whose offices are in Wallasey, and delivery and installation are at Fender Primary School in the Wirral area.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Portakabin Limited. The contract was signed on 17 July 2026 for £399,699. The requirement covered a 156-week hire period, including groundworks, installation, operation-related connections, testing, removal and reinstatement. It was handled as a limited procedure and awarded directly through the Shared Business Services Modular Building 3 framework, Lot 4 for education modular hire and lease, without a prior call for competition. The stated procurement rationale was that the contract fell outside the relevant directive’s scope. Evaluation was based on price. The procurement contained one lot, which is recorded as cancelled, while the award and contract are active.

This award indicates demand from Wirral Council for complete temporary-school accommodation packages rather than a standalone building supply. Suppliers best placed for comparable requirements would provide modular classroom buildings, groundworks, delivery, installation, electrical and drainage connections, testing and commissioning, followed by safe dismantling and site reinstatement. The requirement favours an organisation able to manage the full installation and hire lifecycle, coordinate work on an operational primary-school site, and provide a compliant, durable temporary education facility. Experience with education estates, modular building hire and framework-based public sector purchasing would strengthen a competitor’s position when demonstrating capability for similar work by this buyer.
