Summary of the contracting process

The Diocese of Norwich Education and Academies Trust, through the Diocese of Norwich Education Services Company, procured replacement and upgraded fencing and gates for Mundford Primary Academy. The works included installation of fencing, railings and safety equipment, with the fencing and gates required in RAL green. The requirement was for a school site and was intended to improve or renew its perimeter infrastructure and access points. The Trust was the buying organisation, acting for Mundford Primary Academy. This is construction and installation work rather than a supply-only order, so relevant businesses would typically be fencing contractors, grounds and site security specialists, or building contractors with suitable installation capability. The procurement was classified as works, under CPV 45340000.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 21 September 2026 to CADMAN AND SON LLP for £15,858.30 gross. The contract period is 23 to 30 October 2026, covering the October half-term works period. It was a below-threshold open competition, with submissions due by 3 September 2026 at 17:00 and enquiries closing on 31 August 2026 at 17:00. One lot was used, with an estimated value of £15,000 net or £18,000 gross. Award evaluation weighted quality at 40% and price at 60%. Five bids were received, with one reaching the final stage. The lot was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active, with contract signature scheduled for 2 October 2026.

Although this contract has been awarded, it provides a clear benchmark for suppliers targeting similar education-estate work for the Diocese of Norwich Education and Academies Trust. A credible competitor would need to deliver replacement or upgraded school fencing and gates, including installation of perimeter, railing and safety equipment, and meet a defined colour requirement such as RAL green. The requirement favoured a supplier able to combine practical site installation with a clear, competitive submission: quality accounted for a substantial part of evaluation, while price remained the larger element. Businesses with fencing, gates, access control, grounds works or school-building maintenance experience may be well placed, particularly where they can plan safe, efficient work around restricted school-site access and holiday shutdowns. The procurement also demonstrates that the buyer considers smaller and social-value-focused organisations suitable for this type of work.
