Summary of the contracting process

Wirral Council procured construction works to convert a conservatory into a breakout classroom at St Bridget’s CE Primary School, Wirral, CH48 3JT. The requirement covers building and associated conversion work to create additional classroom space within the school. Wirral Council is the buying organisation and the works are delivered at the school in the Wirral area. The procurement is categorised as works, with the related classification describing construction work. This is a focused school improvement project rather than a general facilities management or supplies contract, so it is most relevant to building contractors with experience in small education-sector alterations, refurbishment and conversion schemes.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. CUNARD CONSTRUCTION LTD was selected for the single lot, with the award recorded as active. The award date was 21 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 21 July 2026 to 29 September 2026. Its gross value is £188,296.87. The evaluation basis is reflected in the limited competition route used by Wirral Council. The appointed supplier is a Warrington-based SME. The requirement was managed by Wirral Council under the Procurement Act 2023, and the works are below the applicable threshold.

This award demonstrates demand from Wirral Council for relatively contained construction projects in primary-school settings, delivered by an SME contractor through a below-threshold limited competition. A credible future competitor would need to show that it can undertake conservatory conversions and create functional classroom or breakout teaching space, while managing the practical requirements of work within an operating school environment. Relevant capability is likely to include building alterations, refurbishment, structural or envelope work, internal fit-out and coordination of trades through to completion. Firms seeking similar work from this buyer should be able to evidence reliable delivery of short-duration education-sector construction projects and a clear understanding of council procurement routes for below-threshold works.
